I feel slightly out of place in this discussion. Growing up in a conservative Christian household, and going to a Christian school as well.
I haven't really been out in the "real world" for very long, so I have a little trouble relating to the book. Although I must say that sometimes it seems like I do all the work talking with a guy. Other times I have deferred to a boyfriend even if I thought I was right.
I loved the ending quote of the book. "Rejoice, little book!
For on that day, we will be free." Because I did have trouble relating to a lot of it. I wasn't brought up required to wear dresses, encouraged to wear makeup, or high heels.
I'm sorry if this doesn't apply very well to the book, but I'm still trying to grasp how it fits in my life. I don't have very much work experience yet, nor nearly as much life experience as I would like. Maybe in a couple of years, it will speak to me more than it does now.
