This is certainly going to go down as one of my most interesting reads of the year. Having reached the half way point, there was one bit in poor taste, but overall I’m just endlessly impressed by the breadth of experiences she gets in the span of researching her books.

Highly educational but I don’t fully agree with the execution and flow of the book. I think she tried to do too many things here and the narrative style is getting a little tired at this point as the threads begin to feel a bit redundant. Would still recommend but reading this requires a bit of patience.

Super interesting so far, excited to keep reading

Wow I’m really regretting this. The writing is so bad - zero proofreading happened before this was published. It also feels so unbalanced having made it a decent way through four themes so far, the focus was quite deep on the athletes and more superficial in almost every other section. Writing just 4-6 sentences about some of these women and girls seems like an injustice.

Did not realize that these were just a couple paragraph blurbs - definitely thought it was going to be longer deep dives into a smaller selection of women.

This is similar enough to First Time Caller that I’m having a hard time, but going to carry on

Chucks this book forcefully at Wendy Kopp

Finding it absolutely hilarious that the best friend and her husband are named Gabby and Mark.
