4.0
The book of essays is an important addition.
The collection is full of essays, all written by females, on what it means to be "female" in modern American.
The diversity is strong and necessary. There are experiences we all share, no matter race, and there are other experiences we cannot imagine because of who we are not.
I learned quite a bit while reading these essays (such as the term Dotbuster), and the collection is a reminder that all stories deserve a voice, and we all deserve to live our lives in peace, without the constant worry of harm.
This should be a staple in high school libraries. There is a lot of meat to dig into with the essays, and even in AP Lang there are quite a few essays to pull and discuss in rhetorical terms.
