Bitch Hunt by Taetrece Harrison

4.0

" I stood for those women who are too afraid to do something for themselves, for women who do not have the resources to fight back, for those little girls who will one day become women. "

Taetrece Harrison in her debut book "Bitch Hunt" , reflects some real life stories of 5 women , who were deprived of a fair life just because they had a dark skin colour. Through these stories , the author shows how the black women have to put an extra effort in life just to live in a society where a person is judged by his / her complexion nonetheless of their talents nor profession. All these women being attorneys itself emphasizes the depth of the injust experiences they confront in life.

Reading through the pages , I remembered Maya Angelou's poem , "Still I Rise" which aligns with what Taetrece highlights in her book.

"Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide."

Yes! These ladies are strong. But they deserve a better society. The society must change as to never let a person end up like Rhonda.
