Me, My Hair, and I: Twenty-Seven Women Untangle an Obsession by Elizabeth Benedict
4.0
I received this book as part of a Goodreads Giveaway.
I was really impressed with all of the essays here -- I was thinking that they might end up being a bit repetitive, as they were all about hair -- but it's amazing how each author's relationship to hair, whether her own or someone else's, differs. From cultural and religious constraints and customs to experiences with chemotherapy, every piece offers a different, fascinating perspective. Well worth a read.
