I didn't like this book at all. Part of me feels like I'm being a bad feminist because its important for the stories of victimized and oppressed women in fiercely patriarchal societies to be heard. But said biographies should also be well-written and this is yet another book in search of an editor, sadly.
I recieved a copy of this book from the publisher for review through GoodReads.
