Women sure have dealt with a lot!! Even in this fictionalization, there is truth to how women were literally used as birthing units. Never the man’s fault. Doesn’t Matter how rich or poor, used and abused in different ways. And at such a young age! It is eye opening. And also very well written to keep you engaged. I felt the fear.
