Negative Positive
Title: Quick read, but not too pleasant
Review: I think that this is a good book to have read to get a different perspective on feminism at the turn of the century, but it bothered me greatly while I was reading it. The main character, Edna, is SO selfish, childish, and self-absorbed that I can't see why the novel is so highly acclaimed as a piece of feminist literature. Perhaps it is because a woman takes the main role. Perhaps it is because of the sexual images that do not relate to men. I consider myself a feminist, but I had little respect for Edna or for this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
