Kultur/JämställdhetFör konservativa rörelser är hennes frihet och längtan efter mer farligKarin PetterssonDetta är en kulturartikel som är en del av Aftonbladets opinionsjournalistik. Publicerad 05.00Nicole Kidman i filmen ”Babygirl”. Här är en spådom: Vi kommer inom de närmaste åren få se en backlash riktad mot den medelålders kvinnan och hennes skapande och drömmar. Men jag spår också att hon inte kommer att backa från de friheter hon kämpat till sig.

Can we talk about All Fours? I read ’s novel last month and it has stayed in my head ever since, in a way that’s different from any other book I’ve read recently. And while I felt a strong connection to this story, I’ve also wondered whether I’m actually supposed to be part of the target audience. I thought this novel was so interesting, not just because of its actual story, but because of the wildly varied reactions it inspires.

I’m writing this in a Mediterranean resturant called Aroma, it’s in a strip mall in Hollywood. My girlfriend has a chiropractic appointment in the same building and I’m waiting for her. I feel like I “stumbled on a real little gem” (doesn’t take much for me to feel like this) (really all I have to do is leave the house.) This sandwich is amazing. The young men next to me are talking about the house one of the men just bought with his wife.

As a reader, too, Seyfried gravitates toward works in which writers take readers “deep inside of their lives, for better, or for worse.” She recently spoke with us about a few titles that raise questions about what it means to be a good daughter, wife, and mother—and that have made her feel less alone. Her comments have been edited and condensed.
