Me, My Hair, and I: Twenty-seven Women Untangle an Obsession by Elizabeth Benedict

3.0

Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher and Edelweiss for review purposes.

I was really intrigued by the concept of this book-- essays about hair and its personal and cultural meaning for many different writers-- but was a bit let down at the essays themselves. I think it was because there were so many essays that they all began to blend together for me. The combination, I think, of the similarity of some of the subject matter, with the short length of most of the essays, kept me from being able to remember them as distinct voices. Overall, still a brief interesting read.
