This is without a doubt one of the most incredible sets of stories I have read in a long time. Anthologies are a hit or miss depending on how the editors and publisher organize the stories. "Our Stories" was wonderfully organized and captured some truly heart-wrenching and inspirational stories. I learned a lot of new things about the women around me and about my own perspectives. I can only hope to introduce this to my students this year.

I wish I had read this book in 2018 when it was first released. There were so many things I learned from this very diverse group of authors, and things that I related to more than I thought possible. This is the type of book girls and women should read if your looking for someone to understand an experience you’ve gone through. If you need someone to say me too. This book covers all different topics and struggles that women have and are facing in our society.

Pretty good and eye-opening, some stories were just better than others.

The book of essays is an important addition.
The collection is full of essays, all written by females, on what it means to be "female" in modern American.
The diversity is strong and necessary. There are experiences we all share, no matter race, and there are other experiences we cannot imagine because of who we are not.
I learned quite a bit while reading these essays (such as the term Dotbuster), and the collection is a reminder that all stories deserve a voice, and we all deserve to live our lives in peace, without the constant worry of harm.
This should be a staple in high school libraries. There is a lot of meat to dig into with the essays, and even in AP Lang there are quite a few essays to pull and discuss in rhetorical terms.

An incredible collection of well-curated, powerful, and beautiful essays that hung with me after the book was closed. Each chapter was a new and eye-opening look into a life experience that I have not and cannot experience, and I am grateful for every one of them.
