Underhållande. Förutom vissa ordval så hade den nästan kunnat utspela sig idag. Kul jämförelse mellan idga och 100 år sedan.

"Men used to bring me violets and now they bring me Scotch. Liquor isn't a gift to a woman, it's just an investment in her"

Depressing in a car-crash, had-to-look way. Well-done stream of consciousness. Tangible despair and pretense of fun.

A fascinating tale of a young woman going through a divorce in the 1920s, partially inspired by the (originally anonymous) author's own experiences. Looks frankly at sexual freedom, abortion, domestic abuse, sexual assault, and the complicated feelings that can attend the dissolution of a marriage. Explores the precarity of the Modern Woman, often contrasting it to the perceived stability of the Victorians.
