britlaccetti's review
3.0
Usually, when I am assigned to read a novel I know is going to be an agenda for Women's Rights, I just skim because they are all pretty much the same.
But, this one was different, the story line is very realistic, understandable and relatable. In fact, one could argue that in some cases this story could be true in today's society (besides the whole court situation).
It was a tolerable and enjoyable feminism piece, much better then Chopin's Awakening.

“{she} contemplated the most terrific of ruins - that of a human soul.”
This book has so much to say, and I found that I absorbed a lot more of it in this re-read (and had to increase my rating by 0.75 stars aha). Wollstonecraft was incredibly ahead of her time with her proto-feminist sentiment, and she is not shy in expressing this outright within the novel. Would definitely recommend reading this at least twice!!
