I absolutely loved it! Short, easy to read, and yet it conveys perfectly how misogynist see women and how they treat them. The myth of Galatea, an object brought to life for a man, is a really good way of showing their way of looking down on us and the way they think we belong to them. It's absolutely heart breaking and very sad but it's absolutely worth the read! TW though!
