A review by maryecountess
The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer
1.0
Attempting to continue an important conversation about reproductive rights and old/new age feminism but includes few concrete ideas, very anticlimactic, very detailed accounts (like 20+ page story about someone never mentioned again) of characters that play no part in the plot line, difficult to understand or care about the main characters, lots of empty ideas charged by an abstract, confusing, and frankly boring story. Way too long of a book for what it was.
Some productive quotes:
“You needed to find a way to make your world dynamic; sometimes you couldn’t do it yourself.”
“Books had saved (her) as a child, and then (he) had saved her again later on.”
“To be lost in a novel meant you were not lost in your own life.”
