4.0

I don't usually read books like this- memoirs and autobiographies. But I was pleasantly surprised at the personal essays and inspiring stories of women who face injustice and inequality and are finding their own ways of fighting it. You can't really rate people's experiences because every single woman in this book faced hardships, but my favorite essays were definitely Finding My Feminism by Amy Reed and What I've Learned About Silence by Amber Smith. They were raw, heartfelt, and beautifully written.

Overall, I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for inspiring stories or a YA lover.
