I really enjoyed this book and learning about women who led such atypical lives when "proper" women still married and settled down early. I do agree that men were generally portrayed poorly... not sure though if that is mainly due to the author or the men themselves. Also, it was a tad depressing at the end. Obviously Fitzgerald's story is a bit gloomy, but the overall tone used toward the end of the decade was a real downer.
