I enjoyed reading this book, though I am very biased as an English major and Woolf fan. It was not hard to get through and the way she illustrated some points was beautiful, I particularly love stream of consciousness writing. That being said, it does feel very binary in talking about men vs women and about male vs female brains (though i don't think that was the intention, it just might be hard to get through).

I really enjoyed listening to this, I would even say it felt sort of perfect in many ways. Miller's retelling of myth is always fascinating to me and my lack of loads of knowledge for this particular one almost made it easier to read without thinking of what could be done differently.
