I picked this book up from the library on a whim after hearing good things about the movie. I ate it up. As a woman, it really resonated with me. I was surprised to read that the book actually came out in 1975 as the issues that all of the women deal with still seem so relevant to today (abortion, rape, simply enjoying being a woman). This book is for women of all ethnicities and is good for any woman. 
 This book includes stage directions for putting on the play, which really made me interested in seeing a performance.
