Defiant: What the Women of Exodus Teach Us about Freedom by Kelley Nikondeha

5.0

I am really enjoying this book! It feels especially relevant in this time that we find ourself in. It is a lovely reminder of women who have led the way in healing and resistant in circumstances where everything looked impossible.
This passage particularly stands out to me:
"There is something in the DNA of daughters, a fierceness not easily squelched. The men may be named, but the daughters move the liberation forward in the shadows of patriarchy (76)."

As the mama to a six month old daughter who is just learning to navigate this wild world, I endorse this.

Thank you Kelley!
