This book definitely had highs and lows but I really enjoyed this look at early feminism and the plight of women under the oppression of religious society.

Feminist adventure set in the wild wild west

A thrilling and inspiring story about a woman who knows she's worth more than the fate she is assigned. I loved the immediate focus on science and feminism, especially set in a time where these were not popular topics.
The characters were diverse with fascinating backstories and the author wasn't shy in taking them away from us.
Loved the happy ending, I was positive we weren't going to get one.

Such an interesting book! It wasn’t what I expected, but not necessarily in a bad way. It was rewarding to read about Ada finding her meaning in the world. That being said, it felt like the last third of the book was a little rushed and the ending wasn’t super satisfying. I think it could have been a little longer. 

All in all, I liked it!

Ok I would rarely say this.... but this could've been longer I think.. I wish some of the issues had been more explicitly expressed, or we had more backstory to go off of, even if it was in the form of flashback type stories

I really enjoyed this book. It was a slow burn but one I thoroughly enjoyed. It was gripping, and you wanted the protagonist to succeed and get to Pagosa Springs to educate people about fertility. A brilliant read, and I can’t wait to read it again in the future.
