Now I'm mad. She was already pregnant and this part could've easily been avoided if the author hadn't deliberately chosen to change that in her 1800's life. All I can think is that that choice was made by the author with the sole desire to include this horrific scene. This book is malicious and any attempt at feminist/progressive messaging is ruined by that.

The scenes in the 1800's are dragging this book down a lot. I'm starting to imagine her husband being in her position instead since it doesn't feel like there's much to work with in her story. I don't know much about him yet, but a male conservative wanting to go back to "the good ol days" being humbled would feel a lot less mean spirited. Or at least have it happen to both of them.
