Already angry at the patriarchal system that continues to demonise us to this day and which I experience all too often, I found this book a riveting read and can't express my admiration enough for the fight these women took on with humbleness and dignity. These stories feed my anger however that's good cause then we continue to fight and dismantle the patriarchy in any way we can. Apathy is not an option

The Overstory
4 stars
