A review by lambsears
The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer

3.0

This has had some great reviews and is said to be about feminism and power.
Now, maybe I'm getting old and grumpy, but I found it all a little melodramatic - sort of a soap for feminists. And it lacked the one thing that I think is pretty vital in a novel - any plot. I like a plot. I think it drives things along. Wolitzer has written some good characters, but neglected to really give them much to do.
As a second-wave feminist, it was all a bit old-hat to me - maybe it would resonate a little more with a younger reader.
