I couldn't stop once I started! Powerful, educational, laugh out loud funny and then the next chapter reaching for tissues. A sensational collection of similar yet very different perspectives by some pretty bad ass women. LOVED it.

INCREDIBLE

Inspiring

A book that gives you lots to think about. It's so great to hear all the different view of feminists and what the movement means to them or just what it means to be a woman.

very inspiring, interesting read

We should ALL be feminists. This book was my first deep dive into the world of human rights, and I can't wait to keep learning. Stay empowered.

Everyone should read this book.

The amount of inspirational women that contributed to this book are a good enough reason to listen to it alone, but aside from that, it's an amazingly important book. I loved it so much.

An inspirational must-listen!

Very good, some stories are funny, some are moving, some we have heard already before. it would have been better if the stories were read our by the ladies who wrote them. the narrator seem like she was a teenager ..

I struggled to get into this book to be honest, I just wasn't sure if it was going to be relatable or perhaps just listenable?
It was only within half an hour of listening that I understood that I was being challenged. Over and over again.

Some of the essays were harder to sit with that others, some riled me, others soothed me, some made me want to cheer, others sob.

I was mostly sad that each author didn't narrate their own essays - though understandingly hard to organise!

Would recommend.

A lesson we could all share in hearing
