I found it a bit hard to get into this book, just because I myself had so many similar experiences that for large chunks of the book, I didn’t feel that I was learning anything. Once I got into it, though, I was able to get through it. Very nice, a bit denser of a read than I was expecting for a graphic novel, but it was nice.

I was really excited to start reading this book, but it took me a long time to get through. In random parts, I would find myself getting overwhelmed, but not in a bad way. Just in a way that I needed to put the book down for a little bit and think. Overall, I really enjoyed Rhea Ewing's approach to curating these interviews into a narrative that could be used to discuss the wider cultural impacts gender has. I sometimes had trouble tracking who was speaking. Each individual has a well illustrated face and each section is denoted with their name, but because the interviews were interspersed between one another and I took my time reading the book, some of the connections between sections of one interview or multiple interviews with one person weren't easy for me to see. I was often pulled into the stories they were telling and forgot to check the name in the upper left of the boxes.
I think this is a really valuable resource, but I don't think it's formatted in a way that is best for me as an individual to absorb and digest information.
