Oooh that was one big book! It's pretty tiring to read it cover to cover, but I'm glad I did it. Now I can cross it of my to-read list.
I'm not yet sure what I think of this book from a feminist point of view. On the one hand, there's a lot of less feminist material in this book, but on the other hand it's also full of strong independent women who know what they want. Best thing about it might be that female sexuality isn't seen as a bad thing, which I didn't expect because of the period it was written in. All the characters are just really diverse, and that's a good thing :)
