What’s interesting?
- In addition to showcasing individual stories, “She Storms the Norms” also offers valuable insights into the broader societal issues facing women today. The authors explore topics such as workplace inequality, reproductive rights, and the importance of mentorship, shedding light on the systemic barriers that continue to hinder women’s progress. Through these discussions, the book serves as a call to action for readers to advocate for gender equality and social change.
- A really interesting part of the book is when it talks about the tough times these women went through to achieve success. The book delves into how these women dealt with unfair treatment because of their gender, pressure from their culture, and personal problems from home. This gives readers an idea of how strong and determined these women had to be to overcome these challenges. Whether it was working in fields dominated by men or going against what society expected, these stories show how important it is to keep going and believe in yourself to achieve your dreams.
- What makes “She Storms The Norms” special is that it talks about how gender, race, and class all connect together. The writers understand that these women’s experiences are influenced by more than just being women. They consider how things like race and class affect their lives too. By recognising how some women have advantages and others face discrimination, the book helps us see the many factors that shape women’s lives.
What’s in it for me?
17 stories, 17 women from unconventional worlds. Each story prompted me to ponder how they broke the norm to become the individuals they are today. It’s a remarkable book that’s both easy to read anytime anywhere.
