This book made a good effort to point out the psychological effects of marriage on women but in the end Heyn dragged the book on with stories and tales that repeated information the reader had already been introduced to without going into depth. What I felt it needed is more fact and more case studies. What happened to the women in the book? Did they resolve some of their issues with being Wives? How did they overcome their desire to hide clothing receipts and dress in tweed?
I don't feel the book was meant for all women and I definitely wasn't one of them. I disagreed with some of her points, but I wouldn't call her book a total waste of time. Though I think I would rather read a book with more information, less repetitiveness and some light at the end of the tunnel.
