an extremely informative book filled with vivid stories from women around the globe… this book was truly eye-opening and inspiring for me.
(deducted -0.25 for some descriptions of women that seemed to be told from a male-gaze and there were also a few weird caveats that were not necessary / seemed like the authors were trying to insert themselves too much into others’ narratives)
