This is a great selection of excellent poetry. With poetry coming from women of all different backgrounds, ths book encompasses light hearted moments and incredibly hard-hitting poetic moments that make you take a breath, this book has the perfect title for what it holds inside.
Covering a wide variety of topics from the power of the pantsuit to surviving trauma, this book covers a wide range of topics from own voices that truly feels like a fightback against the world these women inhabit. Poems such as ‘The March’ by Achy Obejas for me really represent that feeling and it makes for such inspiring and deeply motivating poetry collection for a better world.
A heavy read in it’s moments, Women Of Resistance is a collection of honest and refreshing poetry that makes you think and sometimes makes you smile, and if you need some feminist motivation to take on the world, this is the book for you.
