Not Just for Girls; This is an Important Read for EVERYONEBy Amy HennessyI bought this book last year after coming across the You Tell Me How To Be A Girl In 2010 poem while looking for poetry pieces to preform for my schools speech team. I read it cover to cover in less than a day and loved every page. It opened my eyes to so many critical issues in this world and helped me to see the true importance of feminism in todays society. I ended up using I Am An Emotional Creature and Manifesta to Young Women and Girls as my piece and I can truly say that they changed my life. I got to stand in front of hundreds of people and tell them why they had every right in the world to be emotional people - and that it is a GOOD thing; that they dont have to bend to societies will all of the time and that they can follow their passions. I cant find the right words to describe what these poems mean to me; but I HIGHLY recommend this book to EVERYONE.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very UpliftingBy K. StrobleThis makes me feel like I can conquer the world. I dont need to settle for less than I deserve; and I am okay to feel the feelings that I do.I love Eve Ensler; and her feminist views. I love hearing from women around the world that normally wouldnt hear from. This book and others like it are amazing; and I wish that they were required reading when I was younger. I wish that young girls today got a hold of things like this at an age when emotional run wild. This is a great book and just beautiful in many many ways.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
