leadabird's review against another edition

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

A beautifully written, heart-wrenching collection of essays.  The writing styles were much more accessible than I anticipated.  The content is upsetting—but it depicts the violent reality that gender-oppressed people, particularly Black, Indigenous, and other gender-oppressed people of color, must combat every day under the prison industrial complex. The anthology also has an excellent list of tools and resources for learning more and taking action.
