There's nothing happy or hopeful about this story, and the layers of oppression and injustice remain virtually unchanged almost a century later.

The men in this book are all utter crap, except Bub. Talk about preying on women and seeing them as objects to be manipulated and obtained at will. The women only seem to be able to survive in some sort of comfort when they lend themselves to play along in the games the men play, even if it means oppressing other women. It's eat or be eaten it seems.
Essential reading.

I extremely do not recommend this book for anyone sensitive to stalking/assault. Parts are very hard to read.
