Women Rising

Women Rising is heartbreaking, infuriating, inspiring and healing all at once. Meghan's writing is captivating and I could easily have read the entire book in one sitting had I had the time. Whilst sharing her own story, she also highlights the stories of other women who have been oppressed and abused by different systems of power - primarily that of patriarchy - and people in positions of power across cultures. I really appreciated her dedication to learning and listening, her ability to admit where she had gone wrong herself and her vulnerability as she shared her own struggles. This book will break your heart but it is well worth reading, and it encourages my heart greatly to see that there are men reading it and reviewing it as well.
