pickA soft pick for me. I find it amazing that this book was written over 100 years ago but, while some ideas are revolutionary, other themes are troubling; very much of their time.
I found it a little dry in places and the sudden ending was a let down but I‘m still glad I read it, hence the soft pick.

alisiakae I read this years ago in a Women's Lit class, and also felt she was quite ahead of her time in certain areas. 2y
jenniferw88 Have you done the #booked2022 prompt about a #nonpatriarchalsociety? This would work for that too! I'm doubling up my read for #pop22 and #booked2022Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches 2y
Sister Outsider: Essays and Speechessquirrelbrain I already did that prompt @jenniferw88 🤦♀️ - I went down the eco-feminist route instead so I can‘t double-dip it!Flight Behaviour 2y
Flight Behavioursquirrelbrain Some parts could have been written now couldn‘t they? @4thhouseontheleft I also thought it was interesting she chose to write from a male POV. 2y
jenniferw88 @squirrelbrain ok, just thought I'd mention it if you hadn't! 😘 2y
KarenUK So glad you are in the #pop22 club! I didn‘t realize! I‘ll be tagging you too 😘 (edited) 2y
