Difficult Women by Roxane Gay

challenging dark emotional inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

Trigger warnings too numerous to properly list. Reading this collection was a difficult and yet urgent task. I find Roxane Gay's writing haunting, not to be taken lightly, and so absolutely necessary. I left gaps of time between each story to let the weight of her words sink in and pass. The content is heavy, but sits on your shoulders to be heard as so many of us need to be, to be heard and to know we're not alone. Be difficult, do not carry this world in a package that suits an agenda that does not feel like your story.
