A review by sere_rev
The Women's Room by Marilyn French

4.0

I am convinced that, at the heart of every woman, is rage. We have entered the game of life being dealt an unfair hand, and as we grow and become aware of it, the feelings of unfairness and humiliation and rage lodge inside ourselves and cannot be carved out.

It was both beautiful and terrible to see the women in The Women's Room progressively peel back the layers of conformity and obfuscation to reach their pulsing, raging core; and it was impossible not to feel that core within myself beat in unison, too.

This novel should be highly encouraged reading for every woman, and most importantly, for every man too.
