Such an amazing book.
Also, the women! THE WOMEN! Stories of real women superheroes, who were not perfect but fought for justice. Yes! Yes! Yes!
I listened to most of this on hoopla and highly recommend the audio.

Learning about the work that Grace Humingston has done is very inspiring and eye opening. Certain parts of the case were very emotional and tugged at the heart if you are one to care deeply about how women and girls are treated in the world. I would have rated this book higher if the writing had been a slight more cohesive and smoother but I do understand that sometimes it can be quite hard to write nonfiction with a narrative that is presented in this book and the difficulty it can be to keep it engaging the entire time while also trying to include as much information as possible. I think it’s definitely a worthwhile read but that it’s also one that is fine to take your time with and sit with for a while to be able to intake all the information presented.

I wanted to love this book and it started off very good but towards the end it got confusing and repetitive. The story of Grace Humiston is a great story but the book is a little disjointed.

Reads like a very long Wikipedia article. Some parts were thrilling, but others I had to re-read several times to even understand what the author was talking about.
