"Sometimes I think ... that if a man were to spend a day being a woman in America, he wouldn't make it past noon."
This book lives up to the hype fairly well. Can I say I 'enjoyed' the experience of reading it the whole time? probably not because it's extremely rage inducing. But the ending is satisfying, so all is well.
