ReviewJessica Jones and domestic violence
Posted January 7, 2022 by Erhanne in Television

I have just rewatched the season 1of Jessica Jones, and I'm amazed by the way it portrays toxic masculinity, physical and psychological violence by boyfriends and ex-boyfriends, as well as toxic mother-daughter relationship.

And it portrays women being physically strong without questioning their femininity ❤️

Really, this series is much deeper than what I noticed the first time around. Melissa Rosenberg did an amazing job in creating a superhero series that's not all about celebrating men.

First I want to say this is not a romance novel the romance part is very minimal

Oh thank goodness! Romance just isn't my genre and the description made it sound like something I would like until it got to the romance part. I don't know much about Norse mythology (my "world mythology" phase growing up had me dabbling in all sorts of myths, but mostly Greek/Roman, Japanese, various African countries', Irish, British, and various Native American tribes' myths were the ones I really dove into, which ended with me learning everything I could about them, though I've probably forgotten a lot by now. I still really like myths and legends even now, though I'm not completely obsessed with them anymore like I used to be.) but if that doesn't get in the way of me understanding the story I'd love to give it a try!

I'll put it on my "To Read" list and see if my library has it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Amazing. Just finished the most recent Sarah J. Mass. Don't judge! 😂

This sounds more like Circe which I loved ❤️

Book is on Scribd

I started the book and it's great. I remember the story from Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology book.

It must be good. All copies have long wait lists at my library. It does sound interesting.
