This is a wonderful, thought-provoking and moving novel, an ode to female friendships. I really liked this story about Vee, Leonie and Erica, and also about the feminist movements in the '70s and nowadays. The main characters were very interesting and likeable, especially Vee and Erica. I found that at the beginning Leonie was a bit difficult to like with all her "feminist warrior" characteristics but towards the end I had to change my mind about her.
The novel has a brilliants structure, the story is told through exhibition introductory texts, articles, flashbacks and events happening in the characters' life in "real time" and it's still easy to follow, all those alternating time- and storylines are not confusing at all. And there's even a feminist bibliography at the end of the book which I will definitely read through!
All in all, this is a great novel, a must-read for all women.
