Separately, her essays each impart in insight into the world at large, seen through the lens of Hough's experiences -- being told that she can only be good if she conforms to a standard, being hurt by people who tell her it's for her own good, and finding herself powerless in a world where poverty is the ultimate shame. Taken together, they tell the story of a woman who fighting to figure out how to create her own standards with only her anger and her wit to arm her.
