4.5

long overdue to read this beautiful classic that centers on womanhood, of women being forced into the will of men and needing the power of feminine connection to heal, to become, to understand; on sisterhood in all its forms; on choice, the power of leaning into what makes us whole, on saying yes to the things that bring you peace even when it means disappointing others
