inspired by all of these ten books that changed my life posts, Ive been thinking a lot about where I find my power and all the women whose words have given me life and hope and productive anger in times when Ive felt stuck. Heres a list that I made today, partially inspired by recent convos about poetry and power and feminism and bodies with Rachel Adler, Erin Adair, Alexandria Mary Tsampikou, Karin Lavie and, Alice Beecher among others. I thought I should share it with you beautiful people too, in hopes that we can keep giving each other light, life and hope and survival even when our communities seem fragmented.
