Geez, what a book. Mixed feelings about. It is essentially a philosophical tour of feminism, which touches on some really key points (such as "the enemy is not necessarily men but it is necessarily patriarchy which influences all men" and "it is impossible to separate feminism from economic and disability justice"), but is somewhat limited in many ways (the focus on a small group of mennonites puts a lot of attention on white and christian thought, which is understandable given the author's background and the real-life origins of the story, but still sometimes frustrating). I did not like how much the male narrator was present in the story, perhaps this was a way of pointing out how much the mainstream perception of women's experiences gets filtered through male perspective but I didn't think we needed as many of his thoughts or as much of his background as we got. 

I am fascinated to see how this translates onscreen, but worried that it is headed down a path to becoming the next Handmaid's Tale (I mean there is a Margaret Atwood quote on the cover!) in the sense that it is good and valuable, but myopically rooted in elements of feminism that are already mainstream to be revolutionary, so it becomes problematic that it's being held up as the end-all-be-all of female empowerment.
