What memoir needs to succeed is 'specificity and perspective,' Meyer writes. Lenz, instead, has written a 'memoir-meets-manifesto' that extrapolates a society-wide conclusion from her own experience.
Almost without exception, her personal stories give way to exhortations to readers, addressed alternately as 'we' and 'you,' to free themselves (ourselves?) from the 'pyre of human marriage.'
