Decent piece of feminist literature that’s enjoyable to read but there’s not much of a crazy plot. Very colorful/descriptive language that makes you feel as though you’re actually there. The ending definitely felt a bit rushed/could be refined; there’s lots of preface for a quick ending. I would still recommend it to girls my age (early/mid 20’s), particularly for those who are looking to get married. Crazy to read in 2025 as it was published over 50 years ago, and the themes (in the US) still ring true.
