by Margaret Fuller

On This Page

Description

In this influential book, the prototypical feminist writer of her day addressed a range of issues, from the Woman Question to prostitution and slavery, marriage and employment reform, and the European revolutionary movements of the 1840s. A thought-provoking challenge to contemporary assumptions of male privilege, it is a feminist literature classic.

I’m giving this one four stars meaning that if you’re into thrillers you should read this book.

I picked up this book due to the fact that I loved the author’s previous novel “Razorblade Tears”. Without reaching that level, this novel is also a full-throttle thriller that will suck you in since the first chapter and all the way to the end.

A nature vs. nurture type of story with strong characters and witty dialogs that will keep you turning the pages, this book is something you should read if you like action packed thrillers.
An "early" feminist book that could have been written much more recently than 1855, filled with clear, specific goals and recommended means.
Almost my brand of feminism... Minus a couple of things.
