I really enjoyed the first part of this book. It detailed how women connected with women in female ways. It stood strong and was beautifully written. However, as it continued with exploring women from the Bible, it seemed to make each and every male in the story into a weirdo or monster. It felt as tho being female must make a person anti-male. I was particularly annoyed at how the story of Joseph was handled. It felt like an insult. So the second half of the book went downhill really fast. I'm aware of the horrible inequality women have lived with in various cultures, having experienced it for myself. But this book felt like a blanket condemnation of the other half of the human race. Diamont has great writing skills but in my opinion, she used them only half as well as she could have.
