A review by designsbymeghen
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

3.5

Reading about feminism in the 1700s was pretty neat. I didn’t realize Martha Ballard was a real woman from history until the end. I enjoyed how Lawhon chose to bring her character to life and tell her story in an empowering and thoughtful way. It’s not surprising men have been awful since the beginning. Recounting history and painting these bastards in the ugliest light is deserved.
