I know this book catches a lot of heat but so far my thoughts on those valid critiques is that you don’t have to agree with every aspect of a work for it to still be a good book. I understand why this is considered a classic. I understand why it’s considered to have problematic themes. A few of the reviews I’ve read though complain that this depiction of depression isn’t realistic - maybe not for you? TBC…

Sometimes when I’m fuming at Scalia I have to remember that they’re people too and not robots. This book does an interesting job at reminding you of that

I like how this is addressing her not retiring bc it is a lot of people’s biggest gripe with RBG’s legacy. I appreciate the book’s perspective that retiring would have went against RBG’s entire nature. While I may not have liked it, I can concede that she (and so many others) may not have understood what would come by her not retiring. I don’t think many anticipated how detrimental it was.

Shoutout pneumonia getting me through my books

I think I’m gonna start a new series bc this is boring me

I’m getting bored

I can’t take much more of chapters of conversing about the same history over and over

This book is so important! I loved the chapter on undiagnosed endometriosis as someone who was encouraged to dismiss her own symptoms as “just girl problems.” When in reality it completely changes your body functions. That conversation is so important to have so more women aren’t dismissed by their doctors or even themselves.

PSA: the stories of SA from male gynecologists during pregnancies is heartbreaking

“As a general rule, all women are hysterical” ohhhhh this is gonna be good

Some of these stories are making me genuinely ill

Do you ever not want to finish a book bc you don’t like one of the main characters’ name?

Pushing through this but I really just want to reread the TOG series for the fifth time
