A review by melissabraine
The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict

4.0

The Only Woman in the Room is an amazing historical novel which remained authentic throughout. It was very interesting to see a woman’s struggle at this time; through an abusive marriage with an Austrian munition businessman and sexism and sexualisation in the science and film industries. This was all a true story, which I think added shock to a lot of the plot line.

The only downside of this novel was that, because it is a highly accurate historical novel, the information Benedict was trying to put across sometimes seemed more like a report.
