The Female Persuasion

A story about mentorship and feminism and morals. How it's important to build people up, but also equally important to then push them away (actively or accidentally) so they can build their own path. While I definitely enjoyed reading this - it's very well written - I feel it could have used more bite. It was especially disappointing that neither Faith nor Greer did anything to fix the problem with that botched program in Ecuador. At least one of them could have attempted to be a hero (or whistle-blower), instead of the little-evil-for-the-greater-good message. In the end, Cory's story - how he dealt with his family falling apart, up to his beautiful videogame idea - moved me the most.This gets marketed as the female empowerment book, but a way more thought-provoking book about feminism is Naomi Alderman's [b:The Power 29751398 The Power Naomi Alderman https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1462814013s/29751398.jpg 50108451]. So why did I give those two the same rating? Probably because The Female Persuasion is still a very good story to lose oneself in.
