2018 Reading Challenge- Read a book with a plot centered around a secret
Well, I can see how at the time of publishing this was a groundbreaking book. So for that alone, I have to give this props for saying what women were thinking and bringing up a feminist conversation. This book hasn't aged very well, unfortunately. I felt the themes in this book were overly dramatic and I didn't really enjoy any of the characters. I didn't hate this book at all but I also felt like I was missing something- like some real feminist inspiration was passing right over my head. I'm glad I read this for the history lesson but I didn't really get much from it.
