I did not enjoy this collection. The 3 stars is only for the Roxane Gay piece; the rest were really not great. I was expecting this to be much more engaging with the lineup of contributors and the content focus, but...meh.

It feels like this collection couldn't decide if it actually wanted to be feminist or not.

Most were really compelling stories, but a few were...not so much.
