Incredible. Required reading for everyone. This is not a book you sit down and breeze through. It's thought provoking and terribly real.

A radical call for the revision of our culture towards and for women. The future is, thankfully, female. The book is a necessary antidote to days (YEARS) like this, when another sexual predator is about to given a position in the highest court in America, and the highest position is held by a man who bragged about sexual assault. I believe women.

It's good, but it's so hard to read. As with any collection, some touch me more than others. It's important.
