By reading this book, you get a sense of Chelsea's struggles throughout her life, and how boxed-in she has felt by different aspects of it, whether that be from a political/military standpoint and her ideals, or how she's dealt with her identity and how people around her responded to that. She's been through a whole lot of abhorrent stuff in her life, and she articulates it amazingly in this book. An excellent read.
