Thank you to Netgalley, MIRA, and of course, Sarah McCraw Crow, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Virginia’s life is forever changed when her husband dies of a heart attack while stringing Christmas lights. Suddenly a single mother, Virginia must seek employment to support her family. Set in the 1970s where jobs were hard to find for women, The Wrong Kind of Woman follows Virginia meeting four women on the faculty of her late professor husband. It is with these 4 women that Virginia forms lifelong friendships and propels the women’s movement forward on the university front.
As a debut novel, I really enjoyed this! I found the theme of feminism to be so strong and beautifully conveyed. I found the book to be unexpected at parts and thought provoking and I really am looking forward to reading further works from Crow! I found this to be a fast read and recommend it if you have also been in a 1970s style kick with reading like me!
