Allison Kronlein’s Reviews > Why We Lost the ERA > Status Update

This last chapter felt kinda… idk, whiny? She was annoying me in this last chapter. Her arguments just felt super reductive and unfair. I fear she’s losing me again.

I don’t love how she called grassroots activists “amateurs”. I mean I understand what she was getting at but ugh it just seems unfair

I’m glad I kept going cause I’m locked in now.

I’m glad I kept going cause it is getting better. However, so many of her points feel super speculative which just isn’t what I was looking for when I picked this up. She has overall good points, but she spends so much time on the woulda coulda shoulda when I just want the history.

I’m finding this really hard to get through unfortunately. Overall she’s making some good points but she does a lot of both over explaining and under explaining. I’m going to keep going for now, but I fear I may need to move on and come back at a later date.
