Ngl chapter 7 was sort of a slog. HOWEVER… The last two pages or so were HEAT. I think that the structure of the chapter was to present contexts and supporting ideas for the thesis, which was stated finally. I’m looking forward to chapter 8!

This book is HUGE. An hour of listening has yielded 4% progress. Suffice it to say that I’m intimidated by how freaking big this book is!
Because I’m a man and the experience of women is not firsthand to me, I often need to repeat sections of Simone’s more illustrated points in order to grasp them. I’m grateful for a place to start in understanding the lives of the people who are most important to me.
