What was there about us, in Belsize, so different from the girls playing bridge and gossiping and studying in the college to which I would return? Those girls, too, sat under bell jars of a sort.

I'm reading this again (and I pretty much never re-read) cause the book made such an impression on me the first time, I was very low and depressed over it for days.
I wanted to know if that would change now.
So far, I'm laughing bitter laughs for how relatable is her rebellion against gender roles. I feel very angry and understood.
