I was reading that book in the restaurant at the hotel I stayed at when I came for my interview at NSC. That's how I ended up in a discussion with a 50+-year-old former prostitute-turned-waitress.
Don't you desperately want to be friends with Ariel Levy? I totally have a girl-crush on her.

I just finished reading her book for feminism class, and it was extremely interesting - and enlightening! I highly reccomend it.
