oh this review is so articulate!! I don't think I would like the book but I'm glad you shared your thoughts about it. it's so interesting and so tragic to think about "femaleness" being one of those things that, in a bad life, contributes to a worse one. you said something about how being female is something that is thrust upon you by society - it is scary to consider how inescapable and dangerous that society-identity can be. a female body in a vacuum is unremarkable. but a female body in a patriarchy can be... quite dangerous to have. and that is without even factoring in class, race, gender, sexuality, etc., like?? I hope that makes sense. I agree w u: RAAAA
It does make sense!!! Thank u for reading, I agree that this isn’t really the book for you, it’s rough. But I appreciate the time you took reading this <3
