Book description

1968. Mira Ward is lonely, depressed and in a mess. Having spent years subscribing to the American Dream of a husband, children and a spotless kitchen in suburbia, Mira decides it's time to go back to school… From the shallow excitement of suburban cocktail parties and casual affairs, through the varied nightmares fo rape, madness and loneliness to the dawning awareness of the exhilaration of liberation, Mira Ward's world is about to be turned upside down. Marilyn French (1929 - 2009) was regarded as one of the greatest living feminist writers. Her controversial and provocative first novel THE WOMEN'S ROOM, published in 1977, sold 20 million copies worldwide and quickly became a classic of the women's movement. Marilyn French was also a literary critic. She died in May 2009.
