Diary of a Mad Housewife

Sue Kaufman's diary-style approach feels raw and honest. I'm curious what motivated her to explore these themes so openly in the 1960s.

Her internal monologue made me think about how many women might have felt similarly during that era. Did the story resonate differently depending on personal experiences?

Reading her thoughts in a personal, unfiltered way made the story feel intimate. Would the book have been as powerful if told through a traditional narrative?
