Such a great emphasis on women being just as good as men and proving it during the 50s’ very misogynistic environment, and fighting such an uphill battle to do so. Really loved the parts of women supporting women as well. It had a heavy thread of grief thru the majority of it, as well as displaying so much of the awful (yet realistic) treatment of women which just felt devastating at times.

I wouldn’t call it a light book, but a very very inspiring one for sure. Some things I didn’t agree with or care for but overall I really enjoyed it and it was a super fast and interesting read.
