I don't think the audio represents the whole paper book
The Jesuit priests of my high school had me read this, my mother was pressuring me to find a husband & shaming me every day for not being beautiful enough to find one - the priests thought this would show me that I didn't have to listen to her. Instead the book just made me angry and I hated it since it didn't line up with reality as dictated by my mother.
Now I'm twice the age I was when I first read it and it seems overly simplistic. I don't think this is the fault of the book, I think it's a good rubric to gauge one's own progress. The book did help me back then because I needed that rage to help me escape and I can more fully appreciate that by rereading it now.

Maybe I would have liked the longer version better? The audiobook was reminiscent of a podcast so I liked that aspect. Although it explores how women are often taught to suppress their intuition, instincts and creativity it sort of came off preachy. Maybe it is the generation I grew up in or the fact that I already consider myself a strong independent woman, but it didn't feel like especially new or revolutionary information

A bit too close to ‘divine femininity’ for me, but perhaps that’s simply because my relationship with gender and sex is no longer a dichotomy and so a lot of it just grated on my nerves.
I enjoyed the folk & fairytales shared, and near the end, parts about rage and trauma were good and potentially helpful.
I’m sure this was revolutionary in the 90s when written (at least for the people this was written for), but now it feels outdated. At the very least, it serves to show me how far we’ve come in 30 years.
