Wow!
Ein Buch über drei gewöhnliche Frauen und doch kann sich denke ich jede andere Frau mit Bruchstücken aus deren Leben identifizieren. Interessant, smart und intellektuell. Lisa Taddeo überzeugt hier nicht nur mit einer Ladung aus Spannung sondern erzeugt etwas neues, ganz wertvolles und wichtiges aus alltäglichem. Toll und sollte jede Frau gelesen haben. Female Rage auf eine subtile Art und Weise.
This might be an unpopular opinion but I did not enjoy reading Three Women. Like not one bit. I guess I have to add that the underlying message is one I support with all my heart. I completely agree that there has been and still is an awful imbalance of power between men and women, a dependency we would rather not talk about, ideas that are planted in children's heads (boys and girls alike!) that we cannot free ourselves from even once we are adults. And I love the way Taddeo describes this situation in the pro- and epilogue. BUT the 300 pages in between that are supposed to prove Taddeo's point, the stories of real women having made experiences varying from awful to exciting to disturbing, more often than not feel and read like soft porn. They are also jumping between perspectives in a way that does not make sense to me. With no parallels between stories, no cliffhangers, just for the sake of not telling one story after another? Is one woman's story not enough? Again, I love the fact that this book is one of the few that have brought attention to a topic that has been in the dark for way to long. I personally just did not like the way this important message is presented by Taddeo. Update: So apparently I got it all wrong. I honestly thought this book is about females being sexually suppressed by their male partners. I just learned from a friend though that Taddeo apparently wants to open up a discussion about female desire and how women are empowered to act it out. What the heck?! I mean come on, what time are we living in that we celebrate a woman for not telling another woman about the series of threesomes she had with that other woman's husband? And for condemning her husband because he is not letting that other woman know - but not even expressing those feelings to him because she is scared of his reaction. It makes no sense on so many levels. And thats just one tiny part of one of the three women's stories. It's appaling.
3,75/4 ⭐️ Das Buch war nicht so wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe. Ein Portrait über drei Frauen, über Empowerment, über Lust. Daher habe ich etwas gebraucht rein zu kommen, auch zwischendurch war es, für mich, ungemütlich dieses Buch zu lesen. Aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass möchte das Buch auch auf eine Weise sein. Drei reale Frauen wie sie ihr Leben bestreiten, mit Fokus auf ihre Sexualität. Besonders im Epilog habe ich fast jede Seite markiert und ich wollte weitere Geschichten von weiteren Frauen lesen.
Ich habe es als Testleserin gelesen und nur deswegen auch fertig gelesen. Es wird die Geschichte von 3 Frauen erzählt, vor allem bezieht es sich auf sexuelle Bedürfnisse, Beziehung und Liebe. Es stellenweise verwirrend und schwer nachzuvollziehen auf was die Autorin eigentlich raus will. Letztendlich geht es um die gesellschaftliche Sicht auf diese Bedürfnisse, die das Ganze als schlecht dastehen lassen. Gute Thematik, die Umsetzung war aber nicht meins.
3,5/5
Weiß noch nicht recht, was ich davon genau halten soll... Rezension zum Erscheinungstermin!
Ein sehr ehrlicher und teilweise auch etwas schockierender Blick auf das Leben der Frauen, welcher auf Berichten und Interviews basiert. Taddeo taucht tief in die emotionale und sexuelle Welt von Maggie, Lina und Sloane ein, enthüllt ihre Wünsche und intimen Details über einen Zeitraum von 8 Jahren. Die drei Geschichten sind unabhängig von einander und sind in vielerlei Hinsicht unterschiedlich. Die Frauen repräsentieren nur drei der mehr als 300 Millionen Menschen, die in den USA leben und doch sind einige Dinge universell anwendbar. Die Suche nach Akzeptanz und Anerkennung, sowie das Bedürfnis begehrt zu werden. Das Buch mag nicht für jeden etwas sein, aber es führt definitiv zu Diskussionen und die Sprache ist teilweise sehr poetisch.
Tw: (statutory) rape, assault, abuse I think I'm not the audience for this book. And I don't understand it. The summary promised a diverse look at three different woman and their desires from different backgrounds. In a nuance that may be true but mostly, these women are white and almost exclusively straight and exist seemingly only when they have sex. The only good story was about Maggie. She deserves a book on her own. Her chapters where the most interesting, hurtful yet hopeful but still unresolved. The other two stories where in core almost the same. It took me some time to realize that Lina and Sloane were two different women. The author is a talented writer but this novel feels hollow and superficial.
I am killing this year by reading books or rather picking up books that I would generally or rather never pick up. Reading them, and well not just reading them BUT LOVING THEM. (Okay I will calm down a bit, I didn’t love this book, I had some issues, but I did read the whole book and at times I didn’t want to stop reading, that does say something about it, right? I have one simple question tho. All three women are essentially unfulfilled; all are, to greater or lesser extents, exploited by men. We don’t really see anything concrete, any action? What is one to take away from a book like this? I understand the problem but are we proposing a solution? What kind of dialogue are we trying to raise? Otherwise, Sloane, one of the three characters, is the one story I didn’t really care about. I sometimes I wanted to skip through her part and move forward. But. Also. There is something about this book. I didn’t enjoy reading as much but I also couldn’t stop thinking about it, talking about, maybe reading out some passages to my friends (Hi FRIENDS) Help me. Help me write a better review of this book? What is the book about? A riveting true story about the sex lives of three real American women, based on nearly a decade of reporting.
