There's so much in this book I don't even know where to start. This took me probably three months to read? I took breaks for days or weeks when I needed to process what I had read.
I listened to the audiobook which I think really added to the experience. There are different voices to represent the different women in interviews. It feels like I'm listing in one a real person telling me their story. As I listen I feel like I'm in the kitchen or in the living room of one of these women. It's incredible. I learned so much. It's heartbreaking and fills me with hope at the same time.
