This was a really cool book. I‘ve never read a book in this format and I‘m a fan. It was a collection of different types of writing (poetry, short stories, non-fiction, illustrations, etc.) by different authors. I found it very interesting. It gave many viewpoints on a range of topics regarding women‘s health. My only critiques are that several of the pieces (especially the poetry pieces) were totally lost on me. Maybe I‘m not a deep enough thinker :) And the other is that I wish they‘d collected stories from more, broader perspectives. This really had an opportunity to present a vast array of stories and I feel like they only really captured half the story. All in all, this one is definitely worth the read.
