Then she attends a speech given by a renowned feminist from years past, and finds her inspiration. The college takes as much notice of the man as it will, and Greer wonders what she could possibly do next to stand up for herself and women everywhere. On the first weekend, she checks out some parties with a soon-to-be friend, and experiences a sexual assault. Instead she’s at her safety school, not expecting much. But I didn’t like it.Ībout the book: Greer is a bitter college freshman who lost out on an Ivy league education. ![]() It has an eye-catching cover, a feminist/finding-oneself story, and a tie to one of my favorite bookstores. So I picked up Barnes & Noble’s first ever book club selection, Meg Wolitzer’s The Female Persuasion. Sometimes I find authors or subjects or series that only teach me what I DON’T want to read, but that’s valuable too. Today I’m going to talk about a miss, but somehow thinking about how little I liked this book has also sparked new appreciation for my reading approach this year: trying all sorts of new things. ![]() 2018 has been such a fantastic reading year for me (so far), even though there have been plenty of misses among the hits. ![]()
