I can relate. I haven't read the book, but just the cover makes me mad. I'm so sick of the rich & upper-middle-class tales of what they consider woe and their complete ignorance of what constitutes a real problem.

I had the same reaction when someone sent me a link to a story advocating for putting a woman on the $20 bill. She told me how important this is for women. Yeah, right. You know what would help women more than putting a woman on the $20 bill? Raising the minimum wage to $20/hr. Or even $15. Mandating paid sick leave and paid vacation time. Damn near anything else. Like a lot of women, I'm underemployed and in debt, but hey, not having any women on our currency is a much bigger problem for us gals and our country than some silly idea like a living wage or student debt relief.

Seriously, upper class women are not going to shut the hell up about these non-problems and non-issues, so I guess what's going to have to happen is that us gals at the bottom are going to have to start speaking up. Maybe write our own books and start pushing our issues. There's more of us than there are of them. So hang in there, OP. You're not alone. There's a lot of us who're struggling, so I wish you the best of luck and hope you find some much more inspiring reading material.
