Roar: Thirty Women Thirty Stories

Some of these stories are excellent, with highlights for me including ‘The Woman who grew wings', ‘The women who sowed seeds of doubt' and ‘The woman who unravelled'. Other stories took the literal metaphor thing too far without adding much to it (‘The woman who had a strong suit' was just irritating).

It's all very middle class, but it's nice to see a collection of stories that leans toward the chick lit category but still tries to be inclusive and consider things like gender roles in a critical way, even if it does come out as a bit ‘Feminism 101'.
