A truly compassionate, honest, witty and informative exploration of our western institution of marriage. Told with a sharp, critical eye toward herself and the dedicated investigative questioning of her journalistic background, Gilbert out does herself here in exploring the question of what makes us choose to be together and how can we remain happy. I laughed regularly, screamed at the historical context of some of the shocking truths of our legal system, and took a deeper look at my own relationship, as well as myself, to see how better to love each other. A thoroughly enjoyable story that invites you to take responsibility for your own values and align your life choices accordingly. LOVED IT.
One of the most diverse, celebratory, empowering portraits of the incredible variety of ways there are to be feminine, to be strong AND loving as a woman, to be independent AND engaged in your community and your partnership. A historically INCLUSIVE view of the patriarchal story that is generally used oppress and stifle young women, woven here in empowering celebration without forgetting the challenges of growing, maturing & choosing one's path that are present in every generation.
