Everyone should read this book. It reflects feminism of the mid 20th century to now. Exciting read from beginning to end.

This definitely kept me engaged, but sometimes the foreshadowing was a bit heavy-handed.  I don't love something being hinted at three times before actually coming out with it. But I was surprised by some events as the plot moved forward.
Although the moral seems to be that life with men is at worst, abusive, and at best, vastly disappointing. Pretty bleak look at the lives of women barely improving in the last 60 years
