Powerful and accurate and resonant in many different ways.
Sadly I found this overly academic at parts, frequently falling into the trap of navel gazing. It's obvious she's a university professor used to lecturing at length. I wish it were a series of essays by different women from different backgrounds, instead of a few quotes here and there.
