This Is How We Come Back Stronger: Feminist Writers on Turning Crisis Into Change by
5.0
This book has contributions from many Feminist writers some I'd heard of and some I had not. Some of the writers include: Laura Bates, Layla Saad, Lisa Taddeo, Kate Moss, Fatima Bhutto, Rosanna Amaka, Geok-lin Lim and Yomi Adegoke.
The various contributions come in different forms from essays, poetry, interviews, short stories and more. So something to please everyone, but predominantly it's a non-fiction piece.
Some of the contributions centre more specifically on the impact of the pandemic, other writers focus on things they've come to realise through lockdown or how lockdown has only highlighted previous inequalities even more.
It's a brilliantly diverse collection of feminist writers and includes black, queer, disabled, non-binary, transgender and latinx writers. There were some contributions which I found stronger than others, however, this book spoke of challenge, of calling out, of being an ally, of thinking about our own actions and words and gave me a lot to think about.
