I am just in awe with all of these women. I've always been fascinated by people who have such a strong desire to share the truth of countries besieged by war and conflict, that it overpowers any fear of death, and to do this job when the places you're working in are against your very existence as a woman. Just wow. 

This is heavy reading. There are strong currents of grief, loss, and regret running through it. Definitely one to be emotionally prepared for, but these women are some of the bravest people I've ever encountered and nothing can beat reading their own reflections on their incredible and varied careers.
