5.0
A powerful gut punch of a read about how far women’s rights have come and how far they still have to go. A tough read to watch women be victimized by a mediocre white man and revictimized spectacularly by the justice system and the every day micro aggressions every woman has suffered under the patriarchy since it’s bullshit invention. Expert prose.
Graphic: Misogyny
Moderate: Sexual violence, Rape, and Violence
Minor: Forced institutionalization
