Okay, I LOVED this.This is a an extremely impactful collection of essays written by a diverse group of intersectional feminists. It really made me stop and think, reflect on what I am doing as a feminist and how I can be louder and more inclusive. Whilst the issues raised in these essays have been around for years and years (domestic violence, harassment, racism, ableism and so much more), it highlights how heightened they have become as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. I really enjoyed the di...
4/5 instead of a full 5 stars simply because (as is the case with most collections of this kind) some are just bound to miss the mark for me, but that's largely a case of personal preference and it's still a great read.It's always great to see a book collecting the thoughts of such diverse, bright women, but it's especially needed now. Foolishly, I did somehow expect a guide on how to "come back stronger" or something. I'd love a roadmap of sorts, but of course while that would be very simple an...
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
Easily a book that could be recommended to any female you know. The various essays depicting the impact the Covid crisis has had on various women - women who are the victims of domestic violence, women who are the victims of racism, sexism who when the crisis hit were silenced yet again. This book gives these women a voice, a platform to shout from the rooftops again that our voice will be heard. A very powerful book that I highly recommend
Diverse, funny, thoughtful, witty and thorough, this collection of essays narrates the times we're living through without rhetoric or doctrine, but nurturing and fostering conversations about feminism(s) and its possibilities, empathy, hope, anger and imagination.
will be leaving a review of this on my bookstagram! https://www.instagram.com/bookswmeg/
This will be a long review. But the upshot, is that this book is nothing more than an opportunity wasted. I began trying to curate my thoughts about this book when I began reading it. I found it a near impossible task, as so much of this book incensed me to an almost raging fireball of fury. But first, a bit of background to put this review into context. I am a divorced, single parent, nearing fifty years old, university educated, having had a professional career. This is a book that should be s...
in a mix of essays, poetry, short fiction and interviews, 40 intersectional feminist writers from the US and UK reflect on transformative change + inequality during the pandemic so far, the harms of white feminism, the significance of grassroots + collective action and the rethinking of a new world that centres joy and human value. although i didn’t enjoy every single contribution and thought some were stronger than others, it was overall both validating and enlightening to read about how women
I was lucky enough to be sent a proof of this book & I absolutely loved it! It is easy to pick up and put down and although the chapters flow very well when read in order, there is no necessity to read every chapter. It captures how we have all felt over the past year and really hit some emotional points. I can’t wait to see the finished version!
Loved this - it’s timely, inclusive and real.
I was so lucky to be on a @tandemcollectiveuk readalong for this amazing book. It honestly changed how I see things. It’s a series of essays, fiction and poems from some incredible womxn discussing the events of 2020. Last year was such a hard year for me and it was really compelling to see how other people got through it. The authors are so diverse which makes it super interesting to see from other perspectives.There were some topics that are quite hard to read, and learning about the statistic...
*AD* I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All views are my ownI first heard about This is How We Come Back Stronger on Twitter and thought it sounded super intriguing, so when And Other Stories contacted me to review this book, I jumped at the chance. I am always trying to find more Feminist texts to read and being set during COVID, I thought this would be a really interesting take on the subject and I was not wrong!Published on the one year anniversary of lockdown, T...
This book has contributions from many Feminist writers some I'd heard of and some I had not. Some of the writers include: Laura Bates, Layla Saad, Lisa Taddeo, Kate Moss, Fatima Bhutto, Rosanna Amaka, Geok-lin Lim and Yomi Adegoke.The various contributions come in different forms from essays, poetry, interviews, short stories and more. So something to please everyone, but predominantly it's a non-fiction piece.Some of the contributions centre more specifically on the impact of the pandemic, othe...
