I found the book a fun read and enjoyed the author’s humorous turn of phrase. But as a woman who endured more than my share of discrimination and sexual abuse, I didn’t think it addressed the serious damage this sort of thing has on a woman’s psyche or career. I mean she becomes a TV personality and finds out her partner’s real mother is a wealthy woman who is willing to support her research. Like that ever happened in the real world. How many women’s bodies were left on the road side just because they defied social and gender conventions. Yet Elizabeth brushed it off and in the end triumphed. If only more women had been so lucky. I suppose no one would want to read a book about the real suffering women like me suffered in the early days of affirmative action.
