I really liked this book. I just wish it was a bit more diverse in the women chosen to tell their stories. Mainly white women, mainly actresses. Still, it was very interesting seeing the similarities in the childhood upbringing. And seeing the differences in background that led to similar careers among the women.

This was a cute book that my mom bought for me. It is a collection of memories from famous women who grew up in different time periods (50s - 90s). Their memories of school, playtime, parents, etc.

Enjoyed the stories, the memories, recollections. Couldn't stand the format with the pulled quotes in large font tho; very distracting and redundant.
