review 1: When I learned I had won this book I was extremely excited. Entering into it, I knew it was going to be a hard read emotionally. Little did I know that I would not be able to put it down. I found myself immersed in the book, faced with the horrors women have suffered as if they had written the letter personally for me. The entire book flowed, not a single part made it hard to be interested in. Many parts were shocking and absolutely horrifying but served as a good wake-up call. This book sets forth to do one thing, as it has been made clear, and it does just that. It opens your eyes to the terrible fates many women suffer through still around the world and gives a voice to those who have only learned silence. As women in places where we have equal rights, it's almost hard ... moreto imagine living through these situations and this book provides a way for us to understand. By gaining knowledge we can then hopefully contribute to being a voice for those who have been silent. Was it hard to read due to emotions at many points? Yes. Especially when it came to situations that some of us may know personally, such as abuse or rape. Was it worth it to read? Definitely. This is one book that I will read over and over again, as well as lend out to friends and encourage others to buy it so we can keep spreading awareness and maybe make a difference.
review 2: What an important book to share with the world! The stories are heartbreaking and most "Westerners" have no idea the horrors that exist in other parts of the world. Just recently in the news Alexander Arefyev the men's skiing coach publicly expressed that women should not downhill ski but instead stay home and "focus on doing housework and having children". I think that attitude is perfectly reflected in this book. About a year ago I read another very good book titled "A weak American in Russia & Ukraine". I was shocked to read about the social problems in these countries. The cycle of violence and alcoholism is mindbogglingly. I highly recommend this book!! less
