Thanks to Perseus Books and NetGalley for the free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Awakening by Rachel Vogelstein and Meighan Stone covers the global impact of the #MeToo movement, as well as shining a light on the events that have been going on before that movement got international attention. It draws lines between the concurrent events in other countries, and how women standing up in one country influenced other women to stand up too.
This book was very informative, and the authors felt invested in sharing these women's stories. It was sometimes hard to get through their stories, as they were very emotional. There are many stories about women being sexually assaulted and harassed, so be aware of the triggers there.
I'm very glad I read this book, as it gave me a global view of #MeToo.
