Penny asked this question about Three Women:
Was the relationship between the high school student and her teacher romanticized? Was the girl portrayed as "asking for it"? Is female masochism normalized in this book? It sounds a little creepy, and extremely misogynistic. Not all women "desire" suffering & exploitation.
Anna I would say that this book is the very opposite of misogynistic. Maggie's story is a heart-wrenching account of first love at 16 and the criminal crue…moreI would say that this book is the very opposite of misogynistic. Maggie's story is a heart-wrenching account of first love at 16 and the criminal cruelty of someone who should have been there to support her, not exploit her feelings. What she went through in court had me close to tears. (less)
