A beautiful book containing inspirational and motivational speeches from powerful women around the world.
She Speaks was a very enjoyable read and it was interesting and good to hear speeches from women from a variety of races, political alignments, and more.

I liked the fact that the author included speeches from people with whom she disagrees but still admires their work. On the other hand, I thought that this compilation would have the full speeches but some are not complete

This book is amazing!
If you think this book is purely for women, is aimed at women or speaks only of issues related to women, oh how wrong you are. Topics such as climate change, race, the gender pay gap, LGBTQA+, education and war are merely some of the topics breached in this book.
To hear the words of women that have been overlooked in their own words is truly remarkable. Some women are no longer here, such as the MP Jo Cox or Holocaust survivor Eva Kor, and their words resonate in today’s climate just as much as when they spoke them.
My only critique of Cooper’s compilation is that I found it very politically heavy and would have liked maybe slightly more variety.
Please read this book and take in the words of women throughout history who have been overlooked, ignored and threatened. This book shows how these women, and all women, won’t be ignored anymore

So empowering reading all of these women's powerful words! Would highly recommend!
A lot of the speeches were from politicians, which was expected given Cooper is a politician herself, but differing opinions were represented which I liked.
There was also decent LGBT+ rep, although I would've like more trans inclusion and disability rep (though there was at least one speech for both)
