This book was inspiring and maddening that this was the case not that long ago and still is the case now. Some things I had heard before, some I experienced to a degree, some I feared and still do fear. A great modern and alternative view on gender roles, portaging the rebellion of women through the ages and what that looked at felt like. And I found comfort in hearing things I felt and worried about felt by others in a different country, culture, and time.
