Interesting story of a woman finally waking up to the limitations of (her) womanhood, and trying, clumsily, to push against them. Whether or not she succeeds is up to the individual reader I think. 

The book is FULL of racist anti-Black slurs which kept jarring me out of the narrative. 

Also I don't know if it's the story or the edition I read, but there seemed to be weird jumps in the narrative and things that weren't explained at all.
