Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I enjoyed the characters and the writing- but all the way through this book had the feel of a sequel to an earlier book about the characters which I hadn't read, and which explained the whys and wherefores of the characters. As it was, one was supposed to understand the fragments of a group of feminists from the 60s and how they all came together again in their old age, with a new cause to follow.

Margot detests shopping malls. Any distraction is welcome, and the woman who has chained herself to the escalator, shouting about the perils of consumerism, is certainly that. She recognises Dot immediately - from their time campaigning for women's rights, and further back still, to the heyday of the Sydney Push when Margot married Laurence.Dot is in despair at the abandonment of the sisterhood, at the idea of pole dancing as empowerment and the sight of five year-olds with false eyelashes and padded bras. She's still a fierce campaigner, but these days she isn't sure where to direct her rage.
