This book struck a chord with me because Sophie Gilbert and I are around the same age; we were both teenagers when she starts describing this shift in the culture, so my cultural touch-points are hers. But I think the argument will appeal to anyone who wants to explore the changing perceptions of women and our role in our society. It was a really engaging and enlightening book. It would make for good conversation for a book club. -Anne M
