Negative Positive
Title: Too quaint, with pasteboard characters
Review: A friend recommended this book to me, saying that it was a wonderful book about women's lives. Unfortunately, I found the characters to be very flat and entirely unbelievable. In addition, I had in mind that this book would show some positive aspects about housewives and farmwives. However, the goals and ideals of this club seemed to reinforce the negative stereotypes of women, both who work outside of the home and those who stay at home. The context showed Rita who had goals other than babies and bottles, to be a hussy. While, Queenie Bean was the epitome of the perfect woman, thus reinforcing stereotypes. Very disappointing
