informative medium-paced

Enjoyed learning about these women and how their lives were similar. This read like an academic paper but I didn’t mind that so much. It did feel somewhat contrived - fitting the pieces together to put forth a very specific viewpoint. While it all rang true, I did wish at times the exposition was more nuanced.

Reading this book taught me so much and helped shape my perspective. It's definitely academic writing, and some of it felt a bit disjointed. Overall, I loved what the author set out to do and think she successfully got her point across.
