Most of the stories were incredibly interesting and fascinating to read. However, I am not the biggest fan of anthologies. I sometimes felt like it was just a bunch of random stories thrown in there. But overall a very good read.

It's interesting, and a bit scary, and funny too. It's a collection of one to five page essays submitted by women of all ages (five being the youngest), mostly from the United States, but a few from other countries as well. They're all true stories, things these women (and girls) have actually accomplished and survived and experienced. They all aim to be inspiring, and most hit the mark. I read the book all in one sitting (actually, I snagged it from my roommate, who has to read it for her Women's Studies class, and she's now demanding a reader's digest version, which is hard to do for a collection of essays...), and several of them stuck with me. A good read for anyone who's interested in feminism, on any level, or just in women's voices and stories.
Nothing I need to own, but I'm going to buy it for a woman I used to work with - I think she'll enjoy it.
