Fight Like A Girl by Clementine Ford

emmalemonnz's review against another edition

5.0

Reading this book has me thinking, "Maybe there's no chemical imbalance in my brain that causes me to doubt myself and my value as a human being? Maybe I don't have depression just because I'm messed in the head? Maybe... Maybe I'm sad and angry and feel pathetic most of the time because I was born a girl and that's what living in this world does to girls?"

This book makes me feel less alone. This book makes me feel like my experience of this world is not warped. This book makes me feel like I can trust my own perception. This book makes so much sense and I'm angry that it's taken 35 years for me to feel like I belong in my own skin and my experiences are real and my life is valid. I'm angry that I didn't have this feeling growing up. Autocorrect tried to tell me I didn't mean "growing up" but "grieving up" and honestly? It's true.

Everyone should read this book.
