A review by annalyle
The Power Notebooks by Katie Roiphe

2.0

Most of the book was unrelatable to me - motherhood, divorce, sifting through how to choose better partners, etc. (The idea of unrelatable is something the author speaks to often in the book in an almost resentful tone, but that's truly how it felt). Only towards the latter 4/5 of the book did I begin to gleam something, regarding wage gaps, careers, what others think of women pursuing careers and larger lives, etc. In the end I am glad I read it, but I don't think I'd recommend it to others that I know, unless you're just really wanting something to read.
