"
If Mrs. Dalloway had been written by a mid-century American misogynist, you’d get Mrs. Bridge. I’m amazed to see this praised in the 21st century (then again we’re dealing with the Dobbs decision, so). Having read a quarter of the novel, I’m unimpres

"An inspiration to women
What value to a woman’s life? What struggles women have gone through to be accepted and acknowledged for their own brains and intellect. Dr Jonathan Perry perhaps made the greatest sacrifice to live his life as a lie just to be" Read more of this review » |

"PRIDE MONTH ‘25 #5: there are a lot of things that I love about this book. My only complaint is that it seems to lose its trans-ness toward the middle. I wish there were more firsthand accounts of Dr. Barry.
I feel this story was told very well, but I" Read more of this review » |

“As a scholar, it was her job to see things in relationship to other things; the only thing she couldn't see in a relationship was herself.”

“I could not help but wonder, then as now, When we look at a man or a woman, what is it that we see? We make too much of the difference: having been both, I can say the distinctions are both greater and less than they appear. As a surgeon, I can attest that once the skin is peeled back, the distinctions are few; save for the reproductive organs, one cannot tell man from woman—one cannot say, This is a woman’s brain or lungs, a man’s heart. They think and beat just the same.”
