Reading this felt like talking to a very cool, progressive grandmother: winding and rambling and not always aligned with how I see the world, but ultimately full of beautiful insight. I think this is a book I’ll want to revisit when I’m older, too.

More of an essay than a book, but it's a lovely, philosophical meandering covering what it means to be a woman; why feminism still matters; what truly matters; what kind of world and future we want; and the life and loves of Isabel Allende.
