Women and Femininity
Lucy spends a whole lot of time in this novel hanging out with other women, thinking about the women in her past, and contemplating some of the injustices she's experienced as a woman. So it'd be pretty weird if women and femininity weren't a major theme of this book. But you can breathe a sigh of relief because it is. We might even go so far as to say it's impossible to really understand the central characters in Lucy without considering the fact that they're women. Yes, we might say that. . . .but you be the judge.
Mariah and Lucy have very different ideas about what equality for women means.
Despite her rejection of some conventional expectations about women, Lucy holds some pretty conservative views about gender.
