Authors would do well to remember that "Show, don't tell" also applies to whatever message they're trying to send. It's pretty distracting to wade through two pages of a thinly-veiled sermon on modern feminism when it would only take one paragraph to show Etta's astonishment at the harsher circumstances of life in 1776. The story is magnificent thus far, I just hope the statement won't begin to outweigh the plot...
