“The Sun and Her Flowers” by Rupi Kaur • Book Review
“why is it
that when the story ends
we begin to feel all of it”
★★★★ (4 / 5) This is a beautiful collection of poetry. Part of what struck me is the raw honesty and difficult topics that are so akin to the poetry my friends and I wrote in college, I was immediately taken aback.
The poems are little love notes and scraps of memory left on the pavement for us to find and cherish and tape together, hoping the patchwork lives up to the real thing.
“Girls of Paper and Fire” by Natasha Ngan • Book Review
“I don't want an easy life. I want a meaningful one.”
★★★★ (3.8 / 5 stars) I want to start off by saying this is an important novel. The levels of emotion and passion written into the pages of this story are so potent and so high, I could practically taste it while I read.
Not only does this novel tackle sensitive issues with a raw openness worthy of all our respect, but also it presents what I think we need more of: development of strong female friendships, and a variety of them!
“Disrupters” by Dr. Patti Fletcher • Book Review
“You don't have to follow a traditional career path. You don't have to live by the measure of success as it's defined by society, your family, your friends, your employer, your clients, your ethnic group, or even your own gender.”
★★★★★ (4.8 / 5 stars) This is one of the most inspiring business books I’ve ever read and a particularly great read for women—of any age, race, or profession.
No matter where your life has sat on the spectrum of oppression—from free of discrimination to thoroughly oppressed and ridiculed—you will find a story or nugget of truth that somehow resembles your experience of life as a woman.
