This anthology comprises of work from a myriad of different poets from varying backgrounds and the style varies throughout the book, despite this the five sections each flow well from poem to poem. The introduction describes it as a "collection of truths" which I'd agree with; a lot of these poems reference or are in response to recent events and all of them are extremely topical.

My personal favourites included "The Children's Chorus" and "The Ride Home"; they were both so raw and powerful; also "To The Woman Crying Uncontrollably In The Next Stall", mainly because I loved the title before I'd even read it. As with any anthology of poetry, there were some I wasn't so keen on but overall I enjoyed it, and gave it 4 stars.

First off.. a big thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for providing me with an E-arc of Women of Resistance.

Empowering, freeing and much needed.

I downloaded my version to my kindle app and had a really hard time getting into the poems because the format was funked up quite a bit, but after a while I got used to it and that’s where I fell head over heels with all these strong poets.

Women of Resistance: Poems for a New Feminism is a collection of poems from various writers about feminism (duh). As with any collection, some poems you will like, some you wont. It's how it goes. Some poems I skimmed over, catching lines that I enjoyed as I did so. Or, sometimes I just didn't like the structure of the poem. Thats ok, too. For one poem I didn't really like, I found 3 more that I LOVED.
These poems span many topics, (intersectional feminism, sexual assault, depression, and more and more and more) and are all so relevant, and important to modern feminism.
In my opinion, good books on feminism should make you feel pissed, empowered, and even sad, depending on the book. I went through all those emotions and more I can't even describe?
I'm in love with this book, and I'm going to be buying it, no doubt.
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
