challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.75

an extremely informative book filled with vivid stories from women around the globe… this book was truly eye-opening and inspiring for me. 

(deducted -0.25 for some descriptions of women that seemed to be told from a male-gaze and there were also a few weird caveats that were not necessary / seemed like the authors were trying to insert themselves too much into others’ narratives)

lesliesorensen's review against another edition

informative medium-paced

3.0

Decent information (although significantly outdated now, since it came out in 2009) and very important message, but it is predominantly a book for older white moderates & has quite a bit of problematic writing / tone.
