This book had many stories that were incredible and truly showed the resilience that is so often needed to be a woman in the world today, however there were a few stories that I felt just didn't totally work for me and I wanted more from so 3.5-4 stars for me. Trigger warnings abound in this book so it is not for everyone but definitely a remarkable and well put together collection.
