I didn’t like this one. The stories were too many and too short. Something was missing. Not enough women living on the continent were featured. I needed more. The one with the Senegalese man with multiple wives, however, was my favorite. The one with the Kenyan man who’s into psychedelics was hilarious and hit too close to home. Moved it from one star to two. The writing was okay. I wonder if the author actually met these women or if she came up with these stories out of the blue. They all seem very one dimensional. Still, I’m glad these kind of stories are here. I can see why some people loved this. Even the not so good ones, should take up all the space they need. I’m hoping for a part two, an improved version maybe.

I don’t think I needed to read some of these women’s stories. Still, a necessary book.
