The Female Persuasion: A Novel

"How are you supposed to live in a world where so many people hate women? When Greer Kadetsky is groped at a frat party her freshman year, that is the question she begins to ask, and which animates Meg Wolitzer’s wonderful novel. The characters in it ultimately answer these questions in different ways, but they all come to at least one conclusion: You have to do something, even if it’s just, as one character says, managing to “live your life and be yourself with all your values intact.”"
