The Third Rainbow Girl

26 June 2022: "If every woman is a nonconsensual researcher looking into the word 'misogyny,' then my most painful and powerful work was done in Pocahontas County. It could have been done in any other place, because misogyny is in the groundwater of every American city and every American town..." --Emma Copley Eisenberg, The Third Rainbow Girl

Just finished this book--our Common Reading at Shepherd this coming year. I am not entirely sure what to think of it, but that's not a bad thing. And the lines above--which come very early in the book (page 4)--stood out to me immediately. Just so very true.
