Deeply discussed themes of self-determination, self-definition, the power and differences of anger and hatred all with the message of minority female empowerment and agency. Some repetitiveness between essays or interview but overall brings the same themes through different stories throughout.

This was an interesting read for me. It's a bit depressing that many of the issues being addressed here in the 70s and 80s are still with us. There are some iconic essays/speeches in this book, but the long meandering interview with Adrienne Rich in the middle could easily have been cut without losing anything important.
