What Happened | Hillary Rodham Clinton
Pickpick

5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was already a big HRC supporter, but now I admire her even more. The crap she has had to endure during her career is ridiculous, and as a woman attorney in the male-dominated legal profession, I could relate. I learned more about the Russian political inference that occurred in the 2016 election and it did a great job of showing HRC‘s personal side. It was hard to read without tearing up, but ultimately it was worth it.

MelissaSue81 I want to love this book. I really do.. I‘m just having a hard time with it. 7y
Jess7 How far in are you? Reading or listening to it? @MelissaSue81 7y

MelissaSue81 Listening. Just started hour 9, so a little over halfway. 7y
Jess7 If the emails stuff is weighing you down, skip it and come back to it. The chapters are labeled so you should be able to skip around. @MelissaSue81 - The parts about her emails was annoying, but I think she did a good job at explaining some of the misconception about them well. I found the Russian investigation stuff heavy and maddening, but really interesting.. maybe skip to that. 7y

Yesssss 🙌🏼 —in my experience as a woman in a male-dominated profession this is sadly very, very true. We need to change this!! 😡 #strongertogether

I am almost finished with this book. It has been difficult, but it has been worth it. 💙 #HRC #imwithher #whathappened #feminist #resist #supportwomen #thefutureisfemale #proudfeminist #feminism #imstillwithher #womensrights #currentlyreading #audiobook #mustread

keys_on_fire Some great points!!! 7y
Weaponxgirl That's great! The thing about children always annoys me too! We never hear men asked how they balance looking after the children with an important job, ugh 7y

I just started this book and I am already in love? #MustRead #TooFatTooSluttyTooLoud - #TheRiseoftheUnrulyWoman by #AnneHelenPetersen ?? |This book is very insightful?
"I love my body, and I would never change anything about it..I'm not asking you to like my body. I'm just asking you to let me be me. Because I'm going to influence a girl who does look like me, and I want her to feel good about herself."- #SerenaWilliams #Feminism #READTHISNOW

Natasha.C.Barnes Aaaa I've got to read this book.... 7y
Jess7 Yes, yes you should @Natasha.C.Barnes -It's AWESOME! Excited to hear your thoughts. I borrowed this copy from the library, but I think this is going to be one of those books #INEEDtoOWN 🙋🏻💕 #unrulywomen #proudfeminist #strongwomen #buzzfeed #opinionated (edited) 7y
mrozzz Yessssss 7y
stacybmartin Just got this one from the library - now I can't wait to start! 7y
Jess7 Super excited to hear your thoughts @stacybmartin and to see if you love it as much as I do! I'm past the intro and on to the part about Serena Williams. I just can't get enough! #Feminism is so important and I love that Petersen decided to tackle this subject. If I had a quarter for every time I heard someone say such and such woman was "too..." (fill in the blank) I would be rich! #ProudFeminist 7y

Day 17 | #FallIntoBooks - #DifficultWomen by #RoxaneGay | #TBR ?This book is "[f]or difficult women, who should be celebrated for their very nature." ????‍??? "All too often, representations of a woman's strength overlook the cost of that strength, where it rises from, and how it is called upon when needed most." - Roxane Gay ??#Feminism #Equality #WomensRights #StrongWomen #Speakup #ProudFeminist

heatherspoetlife I loved this book! 7y
Jess7 @StoredFeminism I've borrowed it from the library. I really liked parts of her book #BadFeminist but not all of it. What did you like most about this one? 7y
heatherspoetlife @Jess7 I liked that most of the protagonists were women that aren't usually the main characters of stories. They're the kind of troubled women that break the male protagonist or that the female protagonist is in competition with, or break the story for some cop or journalist. 7y
huntersmom1977 Love her!! She reminds me a lot of myself.. One day I hope to meet her!! Come to Canada Roxane! 😊 7y

Owlizabeth @Laalaleighh in regards to our earlier discussion - have you read this one yet? #RoxaneGay does a great job of articulating the weariness of womanhood @BookishFeminist 8y
Laalaleighh @Owlizabeth No! I just added it to the list. I so identify with that passage!!! I wish I could articulate my feelings this well! 8y
