The author of one story in this book is right. Every woman has at least one scary dragon story. If the old nursery rhyme mentioned the guy on the white horse slaying the dragon, thus saving the damsel in distress, many of these contributing women have had to save themselves from guys on dark horses who emulated those dragons. The creator of this collection of true stories has put together a tribute to the strength of women in many walks of life who met up with often debilitating bad luck and disappointment and triumphed. Reading these tales should inform, or reinforce our belief that women are resilient, smart, optimistic despite their lot, and tough as nails. For anyone with a mother, sister, wife, daughter, there's an odd undercurrent of hope here: Contrary to the fabled label about them, women are by far not the weaker sex. And about the challenges and letdowns every woman experiences in life, the best advice may be this from contributing writer Adrienne Maciain PhD, 'If you can't hide it, put some glitter on it!' Great advice no matter who you are. Five stars, for the amazing stories, and for the courage to tell them. FEISTY: Dangerously Amazing Women Using Their Voices & Making An Impact

Feisty is a powerful anthology filled with essays, memoirs, and poetry by over twenty women who each share their personal battles with shame, oppression, trauma, and the search for self-worth. From raw, searing accounts of domestic abuse to triumphant awakenings of creative and spiritual freedom, this book presents a vivid mosaic of female resilience. Each story is deeply personal, yet collectively they echo a shared defiance of being called “too much,” “too loud,” or “too emotional.” Through these narratives, the authors reclaim the word “feisty” as a badge of honor.
What I loved most was the book’s refusal to sugarcoat the truth. The writing is honest, even when it’s uncomfortable. Some passages left me gutted, like Adrienne MacIain’s story of surviving assault or Mimi Rich’s slow unraveling and eventual reclaiming of her life after intimate partner violence. These women don’t pretend to be saints. They tell the truth. Their voices, different in style and rhythm, pulse with pain and fire. The range of experiences is striking, covering motherhood, racism, sexual trauma, divorce, and identity, all of which weave in and out, but each tale feels grounded in something fierce and unbreakable. As a reader, I didn’t just learn about their lives; I felt their rage, their heartbreak, and their quiet victories.
The format of the book offers a vibrant diversity of thought and emotion, allowing each woman to speak in her own way, whether through raw poetry or richly detailed memoir. Every story has its own rhythm and tone, and that variety keeps the reading experience fresh and dynamic. I found myself drawn into some pieces, surprised by others, and always curious about what would come next. These women aren’t telling one tidy story. They’re sharing their own truths, in their own style, and that’s what makes the book feel so alive.
Feisty left me both exhausted and inspired. This isn’t a book you read to escape. It’s a book you read to understand. To witness. To honor. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to hear what courage actually sounds like, not the polished kind, but the scratchy, trembling, soul-shouting kind. This is for readers who are ready to feel something real, who might be grappling with their own dragons, and who need to hear that they are not alone, and that “too much” might actually be just enough.
