The Wrong Kind of Woman by Sarah McCraw Crow

4.0

The Wrong Kind of Woman is the perfect read for today’s female - it is full of feminism, equity and women’s health conversations.

Set in 1970’s, Virginia’s world is thrown upside down after the untimely death of her beloved husband. Her and her daughter navigate a new normal in tumultuous times around the college town they reside. The war is raging, protests are erupting and the little all male college is facing backlash for not accepting women.

Then there is Sam, a college student, who is trying to be seen at the school as he often goes unnoticed. He finally finds a group that sees him and wants to utilize his talents. Only this group is here to shake-up the patriarchy.

The two storylines intersect as Virginia finds a purpose helping woman’s causes and with Sam’s alignment with the radical group. The writing is excellent, and this novel goes to show we haven’t made nearly the advances in women’s equality as we like to believe. This character driven story will resonate with readers from all walks of life.
