Habs geliebt - wie die Autorin so mühelos von einem Charakter zum anderen (sogar zu diesem überraschend grandiosen Hund) springt und dabei so viel Klarheit in die Miskommunikation der Charaktere und die Hintergedanken dieser bringt ohne, dass es verwirrend wird.
Die Geschichte war überraschend hoffnungsvoll und inspirierend, obwohl das Thema Feminismus in einer von Männern geprägten Domäne zunächst sehr entmutigend wirkt.
Außerdem wurde gleichzeitig gezeigt, das Hausfrau sein ein bedeutender, anstrengender Job ist, der jeder Frau genauso offen steht, wie es jeder andere Job auch sein sollte, ohne irgendwelche Berufungen/Entscheidungen schlecht darzustellen.

Great introduction to feminist literature. Really connects the reader with the  indignation and frustration of women in the 60s/in patriarchal societies.

I loved this book. The only reason I've given less than 5 stars is it wrapped up so quickly and I wanted more, I could have taken 5+ more chapters.
