Hi everyone, I hope you had a good March Break.
One of the chapters that I found most compelling for its style, imagery, and subject matter is Libba Bray’s essay about how girls are taught to hide or suppress their true feelings, especially anger. I thought her use of dragon or beast imagery to represent her anger, and sometimes the anger of other women in her life, was both creative and interesting. Which stories in this collection struck a chord with you? Are there any chapters that didn't resonate with you? Please feel free to share these or any other thoughts you may have about the book.
