Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It's so insane reading something like this where we see how different the world was in terms of what a 'woman's role' was, and the methods taken for mental illness. This book made me feel both glad that I live in a modern society, and heartbroken for the women that had to suffer for us to get to where we are now.
