First off.. a big thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for providing me with an E-arc of Women of Resistance.

Empowering, freeing and much needed.

I downloaded my version to my kindle app and had a really hard time getting into the poems because the format was funked up quite a bit, but after a while I got used to it and that’s where I fell head over heels with all these strong poets.

Women of Resistance: Poems for a New Feminism is a collection of poems from various writers about feminism (duh). As with any collection, some poems you will like, some you wont. It's how it goes. Some poems I skimmed over, catching lines that I enjoyed as I did so. Or, sometimes I just didn't like the structure of the poem. Thats ok, too. For one poem I didn't really like, I found 3 more that I LOVED.
These poems span many topics, (intersectional feminism, sexual assault, depression, and more and more and more) and are all so relevant, and important to modern feminism.
In my opinion, good books on feminism should make you feel pissed, empowered, and even sad, depending on the book. I went through all those emotions and more I can't even describe?
I'm in love with this book, and I'm going to be buying it, no doubt.
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I'm floored by the variety of voices of the contributions, and perspectives represented. The photographs add to, rather than distract from, the text. My favorite poems were Sally Ride Speaks to the Schoolgirls by Laura Fairgrieve, An Open Letter to the Protestors Outside the Planned Parenthood Near My Job by Elizabeth Acevedo, When My Daughter Wasn't Assaulted by Amanda Johnston, Shiv by Rachel McKibbens, and If 2017 Was a Poem Title by Mahogany L. Browne.
