This was an eerie book, in terms of what was written as to women that had no control over their bodies and were definitely second class citizens. Then I think of women in other parts of the world today that are being treated in similar ways or worse. Then I thought of why didn't people fight back before all of this happened, a lot of questions. This is a work of fiction but still was disturbedly thought provoking. I would recommend this book.
