Normal Women by Ainslie Hogarth
"I read this in two fevered days and nights of attempting to ignore my family, shirk work responsibilities, and stay up way too late. A profound, strange, hilarious, dark, gross, compelling page turner that considers the ways in which women labor. As " Read more of this review »
