The author is a long-time hysterical feminist. She takes time out of her rant to fulminate against the Confederate flag and fathers who give away their daughters during marriage ceremonies. Typical rich, first-world feminazi with daddy issues.
Barbara Kingsolver, the authoress. Appears to be everything you say.
