Butcher by Joyce Carol Oates

Has anyone else read this? What did you think? I was perturbed and enthralled. Her descriptions are so poignant and my reactions so visceral.
It also got me thinking, like, how else would some gynecological procedures have come to be? Experimentation has its place, but ethics are to be considered.

Here is a copied description:

"Joyce Carol Oates' Butcher is a surreal and gruesome novel that explores women's agency, medical experimentation, and the abuses of power. The story is inspired by real people who committed real crimes, including an orphaned Irish servant named Brigit. The book confronts the disturbing history of medical experimentation and serves as a commentary on women's rights, the abuses of patriarchy, and the servitude of the poor and disenfranchised."
