I'm honestly speechless and glad that I gave this book a chance.
The beginning was a little convoluted. I couldn't orient myself, too many people, too many things at once, but as I started to get to know the characters, I got invested.
One of the things I really enjoyed is the portrayal of the fight for women's rights in Poland from the historical side. I was never taught any of that at school, so I really appreciate the want to make people aware that feminists weren't just abroad. People fought here too.
What saddens me is how much I can relate to the problems presented in the book. It's hard to believe that over a 100 years have passed and Poland still doesn't offer women the support they deserve, be it when it comes to abortion, for example.
A heavy read, but a necessary one, in my opinion.
