Readin' and Dreamin'

Once I got used to the different writing style, the story fell into place for me. The story was sprawled out during a time when American was changing its identity, so a story placed there would need some serious pulling off.

Each chapter was told by a different view: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Victoria Woodhull, Anthony Comstock and a fictional character called Freydeh Levin. While it was good to hear from four different views, I found that this disrupted the flow of the story. And some of the chapters got bogged down at times by stilted dialogue.

My favorite part started about 60% into the story, when the four characters all start crossing paths. And this book definitely got me interested in the women's rights movement that now my book wishlist has grown.

Worth a read if you're interested in this period in history.
