Book Review: Women of Resistance by Multiple Authors

Alright, time for another review people.  Since last year I have been reading a lot more short stories books and poems too and I have really been enjoying it too.  I have fallen in love with reading poetry again, one of my favorite things to do when I was little and got to find out that I actually like to read short stories too.  Which brings us to today's review, a short stories/poems collections that I found on the NetGalley website (Thx Netgalley).  Let's get to the review:

Women of Resistance by Multiple Authors

From GoodReads:
A collection with a feminist ethos that cuts across race, gender identity, and sexuality.

Creative activists have reacted to the 2016 Presidential election in myriad ways. Editors Danielle Barnhart and Iris Mahan have drawn on their profound knowledge of the poetry scene to put together an extraordinary list of poets taking a feminist stance against the new authority. What began as an informal collaboration of like-minded poets—to be released as a handbound chapbook—has grown into something far more substantial and ambitious: a fully fledged anthology of women’s resistance, with proceeds supporting Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights.

Representing the complexity and diversity of contemporary womanhood and bolstering the fight against racism, sexism, and violence, this collection unites powerful new writers, performers, and activists with established poets. Contributors include Elizabeth Acevedo, Sandra Beasley, Jericho Brown, Mahogany L. Browne, Danielle Chapman, Tyehimba Jess, Kimberly Johnson, Jacqueline Jones LaMon, Maureen N. McLane, Joyce Peseroff, Mary Ruefle, Trish Salah, Patricia Smith, Anne Waldman, and Rachel Zucker

Overall, I liked this book; who won't like to read about a book full of poems and short stories about feminism? There were really cool stories in this book, some of them hurt my heart to read, some of them I couldn't really get to it, maybe it was the writing of the author. But overall? Still a book that I would recommend all girls to read and what the heck I would recommend all boys to read it too because let's admit, being a feminism isn't not been a girl, right? Right!!!
