Pickpick

Though I‘d never actually read this book that influenced my mother‘s generation so intensely, I knew the basic thesis and the general praise and criticism it receives. Initially everything I read validated the ideas I already had about this, but a few things did surprise me along the way, so I‘m glad I took the time to actually read this piece of our history. #BBRCAdultControversial @LibrarianRyan

LibrarianRyan Ohhhhh. Interesting. What things surprised you. 2y
IndoorDame @LibrarianRyan I was surprised by certain attitudes she reported of the feminists of the time that hit home what progress we actually have made in the past 50 years, & then some places where I still really did see myself in those women. Also by the idea she claimed working women who also took care of children and a house didn‘t put in that many more hours, because I don‘t feel like that statistic has held up over the years now that most women work 2y
IndoorDame @eeclayton looking forward to your review! 2y
