Tomboyland: Essays by Melissa Faliveno

5.0

I loved this book so much. I need a signed copy in my life. Faliveno put words to do many experiences that I share as a queer small town Wisconsin woman. Reading tomboyland was realizing that someone else out there understands. Specifically and truly understands. From the culture of tornadoes, being a woman with the desire to be strong, ruminating on solitude after a break up, feeling conflicted about guns and gun culture, family dynamics that are quintessentially Wisconsin. Everything hit home for me.
