A big thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a quick but hard-hitting collection of poems. It is also the perfect example of intersectional feminism in the 21st century. The poems range in the sub-topics they explore. Some are political, some are personal, whilst others cast a critical eye on society and the perception of women across different countries and cultures.
This collection is important as it focuses on the different ways in which women fight and resist those who wish to stop us from reaching our full potential. Hence the title Women of Resistance. Each poem had a distinct voice and the different experiences came through powerfully as well.
Powerful and inspiring; a poetry collection you don't want to miss out on. You will become acquainted with some new writers you may not have discovered before as well. The type of poems and the rhythm also differ as well across the collection.
Highly recommend!
