I like the framework, message, and inspirational punch of this slightly expanded version of Abby Wambach's viral 2018 Barnard commencement address. But I really love it as a concluding chapter to Wambach's memoir "Forward." Without "Wolfpack," "Forward" (2.5 stars on its own) fails to capture Abby's charisma and feels underdeveloped and bleak, like you can't quite trust the positive direction of the abrupt ending. Without "Forward," the short, inspirational punch of "Wolfpack" (4 stars on its own) lacks heft and context, as if it's a nice framework and message but you aren't sure it's actionable. Together, they tell a powerfully honest and inspiring story of struggle, identity, courage, family, triumph, failure, healing, hope, growth, and the rising tide of badass women.

Amazing and quick read
At first when I realized that this book was only 91 pages long, I was bummed. Then I read it and am so glad that it is. Whenever I forget the woman who I am, I can pick this up and read it in less than an hour. We need more books like this. Books that kick us in gear and do so in a succinct and yet powerful manner. If you are a woman or know a woman, read this book.
