The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer

5.0

I really enjoyed this book! I would describe Meg Wolitzer’s style of writing as kind of meandering, where over the pages you have the chance to really get to know the characters. I didn’t really connect with the characters in The Interestings, so I kind of felt like I was watching a reality show....being a voyeur into a story with no plot. This book was different but probably because I connected with the characters, both Greer and Faith. It really emphasized that woman are strong, because we are woman. Equality shouldn’t mean becoming more like men or anything other than who we are. Strength comes from realizing who you are, what you want, and not letting other people dictate that. We can be loud, we can be quiet, we can be soft, we can be hard. Whatever we are....It is enough, and we as women should support each other.
