What a great piece of history to dive into. I felt indebted to these women (or rather, the people in the author's life they represent). It was fascinating getting insights into what feminism was like in the 80s through 00s. Also really interesting to see the events of the 21st century from a different perspective than I had as a kid growing up leftist in a conservative place. It was also depressing at times to see how little has changed.

The main issue with the collection for me was how insufferable a few of the characters were. Mo really annoyed me until Sydney came along and made her seem reasonable and well rounded.
