3.0
I feel like this is an important novel highlighting an unfortunate period for women. However, I think this could have benefited more from being non-fiction or highlighting individual stories rather than the single nameless narrator who acted as a voice for the numerous women presented here. I think I would have liked to hear more of the individual stories, tragic though they are.
