Read this book as part of a class on the philosophy of love, sex and marriage.

Was one of the most dynamic catalysts for new theories on the human experience I've had.

I actually loved this. Incredibly interesting.

[Opal💥 · Rating 1 out of 5]

Academic and boring, school book, and dense. Feminist at parts and anti feminist in other parts, as I said, only read for class.
