I am very conflicted about this book. At times I wanted to keep reading and was fully engaged in the story. At other times I was utterly confused and had no idea what the book was talking about. Other times I was grossed out and kind of done with the story. The book however makes an incredible political statement about women's rights and I think it is very important. I don't agree with everything the author discusses or obviously feels but it definitely makes you think.
This book has several characters that you follow. Tess is a time traveler from 2022. She travels to the early 1990s to help edit her own timeline. She also travels to the late 1890s to stop John Comstock (a real historical person) from invading women's rights. We also follow Beth who lives in 1993. Her story is intertwined with Tess. There are several other characters who are an important part of the book as well but come from various time periods, hence where the book gets a little confusing.
What is I do really like about this book is that the author does an incredible job weaving in real history. It's incredibly eye opening to read about some of the things that happened and really happened in real life. The author adds a historical sources chapter at the end. I always appreciate that. Although this was not a must read for me I feel like this book brought up some great points and definitely makes one think.
