This was a very quick paced, enjoyable and empowering read. I love the way she interspersed larger insights and concepts with her own stories and reflections. It was eminently readable. That said, I wasn’t totally blown away by the concept. I feel like these ideas of societal constraints and unlearning them is something that I’m sure some have never reflected on or considered and most of this is all been in my brain before at some time or other - whether that was through other reading, sociology and psychology classes, or just my own musings. That said, her conversational tone and really assessable writing style made them feel fresh and such a joy to discover again. She told her stories with wit and truth and vulnerability, which is always a joy to read. I would love to gift this book to a child and particularly a young woman headed off to college.
