This book was not at all what i expected-kinda wanted like a womens empowerment book and if youre looking for that this is not it imo!

Instead, i got a fascinating book which was a commentary on power, history, gender, conspiracy theories, politics, etc. I will say it was significantly more violent than i thought it would be, BUT if that doesnt bother you this is a really good book and really interesting commentary. Would probably read again and might have to get my own copy.

Se solo avessi letto questo libro due anni fa, avrei fatto in modo di dedicare un capitolo alla sua autrice. Pessimo tempismo, lettura illuminante. Non poteva che diventare un classico.
Con la benedizione di Margaret Atwood a garanzia di tutto.

Saved at the end with a good twist and a real fleshing out of the story. Quite boring and formulaic up until then, despite having an amazingly interesting premise

Eye-opening book. Makes you confront just how male-dominated the world is and the origins of gender domination in society.
