Anthologies are often difficult to rate in my opinion. There were some really strong stories and some I didn’t grab me. I found the interview questions to be a little weak and ended up only skimming most of those.

"I consider myself a success story. Because I am alive, I mean, and because I think writing and books and art are the reason." (Lidia Yuknavitch)

“I think there’s this idea that we can live in a joyful state all the time, and if we’re not doing that, then something’s wrong with us. I will say, “No, no. I think it’s actually right to weep for what you witness in the world.” Let it touch you. Let it wash over you”

This quote from the interview with Gerri Ravyn Stanfield is in itself a solid review of this book. I sobbed and hurt and felt so many things. Very much recommended reading for women (and everyone) in these times
