Woman: An Intimate Geography by Natalie Angier
Meh.
I don’t feel any connection here.
I can't help it- the entire thing sounded like a snarky, sensationalistic newspaper article to me. I could not connect with anybody portrayed in the book and especially not with the author.
I know I am sensitive as to society's treatment/ judgement of the female body, but this was a separate issue which was just acerbated by the tone of the book and the direction the author took with every single example. I felt more like a voyeur who was supposed to be getting a secret thrill out of the more distressing experiences related in the book, instead of a fellow woman interested in the humanity of these very real people.
