The authors did an excellent job of choosing the women to write about and highlight their stories in this book, knowing they couldn't choose all of them. It wasn't an easy read, and I truly wish that history curriculums in schools would discuss the experiences of people of color, women, and other marginalized communities more in-depth.
Most people know about or have at least heard of some of the topics discussed. But what most people don't know is the influence that black women had on these movements and continue to have in society.
While not everything could be covered, the authors included many different women from different groups, including different cultures, religious women, LGBTQ+, etc.
