I found this book quite dark and challanging but I would say that it's one of the most important litterary pieces I have read.
This book is very thought provoking, it really puts a mirror in front of our society here and now to reflect our behaviours. I don't know if I would actually consider this book feminist because the book mostly just put down men instead of showing how powerful women could be/are.
I really like the conversation this book provokes around power and nature/nurture topics.
