I hope we can move away soon from this trend of feminist narratives that are just “women are bound to suffer and be controlled by men at all times and then suffer some more and die”. I’m not saying it is wrong or unrealistic, but it’s starting to get repetitive amongst contemporary feminist writing, and I wish we could just look beyond other aspects of gender beyond what this book achieves.
