panI really wanted to love this. I do love the term hagitude and I am finally embracing my cronehood. But there was too much psychology and not enough mythology for me. And then the author states that there should be gathering places for women who were born as women, basically saying that it's OK to exclude trans folx in certain cases. So yeah, not great. We don't all need the exact same experience to relate.
panI was all set to recommend this until about 70% through, as the discussion of elder female archetypes was great. Then the author suddenly veers into TERF territory in a chapter about trans people and how treating trans women as women negatively impacts “real” women‘s rights, then proceeds to lament the inability to have civil discourse about this topic and whine about online harassment for this opinion. No. You can‘t 2-side human rights.
“You don‘t mess with a witch, and women today are bone-tired of being messed with.”
💯 Bone. Tired.
“I have no intention of being invisible. But I‘m quite prepared to be inconvenient.”
I think I‘m going to love this book.
