This book is a masterpiece. Do yourself a favor and read it. You will feel pain- it’s not an easy book to read, not because of the language, but because of the intense content. Many of these stories are full of pain and tragedy. So many of them are all too realistic- they may be works of fiction, but this does not make them any less true. None of the women in these stories are perfect. I’m not sure you can even call them “good.” But the world is not black and white. It is made of shades of gray, and like all of us, these women lie somewhere in between. This book is a complex intersectional portrayal of what it means to be a woman.
