The Book Club for Troublesome Women | 
pickEven with the fact that I have a hard time seeing the 1960‘s as historical fiction (I mean, I was born only a decade later and I‘m not that old right 🤭) I thought this story was inspiring! Seeing women fight against the sexist beliefs and traditional roles of the society they live within always gets me fired up! It also had some very sweet moments and I love the strength and devotion that comes from a close knit group of women. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickOne of the best books I've read so far this year. I began to feel as if these four Bettys became friends. All so vastly different from each other but not willing to stick to the status quo. I've added several of the books they read to my own reading list, as I had only read Herland (just this year). Even now, some 50 years after much of the setting, a lot hasn't changed for women. How disheartening.
pickThis book was equal parts encouraging and maddening due to the subject matter. I was quick to connect to the characters, and their trials enraged me, just as I also cheered them on as if their successes were personal victories. The ending was heartwarming and full circle.
pickWhat a delightful read with delightful characters.
We meet housewives in the 1960s who say they are happy, but are they really?
When the neighborhood women gather together for a book club and read The Feminine Mystique by Betty Frieden, their bonds become stronger and some break out of their roles.
Hurray for these housewives and friendships women make!! 5/5
