Our Stories, Our Voices: 21 YA Authors Get Real about Injustice, Empowerment, and Growing Up Female in America by Amy Reed, Julie Murphy
No Rating
I always feel uncomfortable when giving ratings to nonfiction books. Especially anthologies. I have given ratings, but I just don't feel comfortable with this one.
I really enjoyed this anthology. It was about being a woman in America. I related to a lot of these stories, but I didn't with others. I don't really have a lot to say about this other than the ones I loved the most:
1. "Her Hair Was Not of Gold" by Anna-Marie McLemore
2. "Chilled Monkey Brains" by Sona Charaipotra
3. "Roar" by Jaye Robin Brown
4. "Easter Offering" by Brandy Colbert
5. "These Words Are Mine" by Stephanie Kuehnert
6. "The One Who Defines Me" by Aisha Saeed
7. "In Our Genes" by Hannah Moskowitz
8. "What I've Learned about Silence" by Amber Smith
