idk how representative firdaus and her tribulations were, but they were def shitty at every turn, w/ her being used by all the men in her life. her gradual, then rapidly crashing epiphanies and realizations abt women in a patriarchal, objectifying, power- & money-obsessed society were a gut punch. woman at point zero was also perhaps the first whose powerful patriarchy-hating declarations were able to actually make me legit moaned?? bc of how much i FELT them and their truth; they were so satisfying.
we all knew how things would end, so there wasnt a lot of tension and anticipation while reading, thus this novel didnt elicit much emotions from me, but i still appreciate it for its bold truth-telling of how absolutely shitty it is to be a woman in a man's world, regardless of which part of the world it is.
