As
a modern woman (juggling career, marriage, children, household), I
often find myself frustrated or angry, and it's mostly because
there isn’t enough time for me as an individual.
Of course, I feel horrible about it.
Honestly, what is there to complain about?
Compared to most of the rest of the world I’m privileged,
and I do live a nice, albeit somewhat boring, life.
However, after reading this book, I felt better and not
alone in my thoughts. It’s
not that these women offer solutions.
It was the commonality of feelings and experiences that
caused me to feel a bond with many of them.
They expressed their frustration and anger in a normal
conversational manner, just like a girlfriend would, and I didn’t
feel as though I was being bombarded with hateful, cynical words or
views. Who knows,
perhaps being a bitch in the house once in awhile is just part of
being a woman these days.
