A Reader

Spinster
Unfortunately, I was turned off to this book after reading the first sentence, "Whom to marry and when will it happen - these two questions define every woman's existence."

While I enjoyed reading about Neith Boyce, Maeve Brennan,Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Edith Warton, I strongly disliked what I perceive to be Bolick's self-obsessed, cynical attitude.
