reading_rhi's review against another edition
During my time reading the author made a very distasteful ’prank’ that goes against things they stand for. This destroyed my drive to read this book and incidentally I did not finish it before it was returned to the library. The book itself had some valuable insights.

Very binary and repetitive.
Missing references or even footnoting to find out more information (if you wish).
I felt it was very one sided and negative - like you’d get in trouble if you had a different opinion or you’d be very wrong.
Wasn’t a fan, and wouldn’t recommend.

I am not sure that I was the target audience for this book, but it had some great points and some more average ones. I didn’t disagree with any points specifically, and I think I was hoping to be MORE challenged. That’s not to say nothing in the book challenged me, there were points made me question internalised beliefs and changed my perspective. I think it would probably be a really powerful book for women who find themselves trapped in the kind of marriage she was describing.
I really enjoyed the aspects which weren’t talking about marriage specifically but the deep dive into the history and past legalities, and the discussion of the ways women have been pushed out of meaningful income. It was unexpected but I’m glad it was part of the book.
