Very interesting insight into the role strong (and well-meaning) women played in building the early Soviet Union. A great companion read to Darkness at Noon.

Fascinating!

I have come to believe that the phenomena of buttered toast always landing buttered side down is closely related to library books on hold all coming available within 1-2 days of one another. I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep up with this round! (But I’m trying!)

I knew I was missing “something” at page 50. I did a little research into this book and, upon learning the authors’s intent, went back to the beginning and restarted with fresh eyes. Written in the mid-40’s, this novel shows how political ideology can supersede personal morals and take on a life of its own. Fascinating in the context of historic Russia and surprisingly relevant in current US politics.

I wanted to read this book because I really Charlotte Perkins Gillman’s (author) short story The Yellow Wallpaper…and her bio is interesting. This book feels much less refined - however it’s a strong statement from the author about the impact of men on society as compared to women. She’s definitely a feminist!
