Description

Called "ahead of its time" by many who talk about it, The Millstone tackles a lot of the problems of the 1960s. It comments on the sexual liberation of women, unplanned parenthood, single motherhood, and women in academic settings. It’s a good reminder of why feminism is important. Traditional moralism is back on the rise, and this is a great piece of commentary on it from a time when the debate was at its height.

Note: This book belongs to the "Is it a romance?" section. It's up to the reader to decide!
