The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was raised in a household that was quite ahead of the curve in terms of the feminist movement. My mother was always a proponent of this and did college work in Women's Studies, so as a child I distinctly recall discussions that were similar to the interactions or conversations that Faith had with her coworkers or with her mentees. And, like Corey, my father was on board as well with his progressive attitude towards women's rights. So a lot of the historic aspects of this story felt true to me. I also loved the ability of Meg Wolitzer to bring this movement into the present as its natural evolution and also the current climate of today's political challenges in the USA and worldwide.
Definitely recommend!
