I love the title and the cover of this book, but felt really off as I read it.

There are points of true grace and wisdom, and then, something jarring that just doesn't align at all with the overall tone and message of the book.

As an example, early on in the book there are a few paragraphs full of statistics about women's sexual abuse. I glossed over it, and felt out of synch as I read from there forward. It was almost as if the author was trying to prove something to me, just to show me another way.

I feel a bit challenged putting this into words, other than... there were great shifts in the text that didn't align with the rest of the message. I often found myself skipping pages, sections, just to get to the juiciness I sought.

One quote that demonstrates what I'm trying to convey: "One is not born genius, one becomes a genius; and the feminine situation has up to the present rendered this becoming practically impossible".

I just... I cannot disagree more, and this sentence came completely out of nowhere. I think it might be a quote from someone else (many sections have a related quote at the top), but it's hard to tell in the preview Kindle version. Regardless, it's so off-kilter to the rest of the message, I felt like I was on a boat in the Bahamas again right after hurricane Matthew.

Nutshell: I'm sure there's gold in here, I just want to avoid the whiplash to find it.
