Well said Jen!!
Thanks Jen, I agree. I thought as I was reading that the author was so brave to write about the politically charged moment in our history. I made notes, detailing how many women, especially my age were taught to "just keep moving forward. Don't make waves for men. We probably asked for it." Honestly, it's no wonder that we hear about it more today. Women have been emboldened to speak up...as they should.
We're entering a literary world where things are not going to be as simple as they used to be. We are complex, multi-faceted humans with many experiences and identities that all intersect, why should our characters be flat? I hope more authors continue to touch on multi-faceted ideas in their stories.
I felt this was a necessary part as well and happy the author included it. I couldn't agree more with all that you said.
Jen, your comment gave me a better understanding of Ursula. Thanks!
Well said! I'm shocked and grossed out seeing all these comments from women! Totally disappointed and shocked.
