The Golden Notebook

by Doris Lessing (also rec’d by Nora Ephron )

Unlike the popular books of the 1960s, which featured ‘mad housewives’ jumping out of windows, what Lessing tried to do was to bring together a woman’s brain and a woman’s body, to show the delight in physicality. Womanhood is exuberant—and wonderful.
