This is brilliantly written.  It felt like a really authentic space in a woman's brain. Unbelievably frustrating at times, but that added to the honesty.

Nie sądziłam, że zgodzę się z przesłaniem tej książki, bałam się, że dostanę miałą liberalnofeministyczną powiadtkę. Bardzo dobra, uwrażliwiona krytyka relacji władzy, które dochodzą do głosu w momencie, kiedy szef uwodzi i wykorzystuje swoją pracownicę. Muszę obejrzeć film.
