Description
Inventory of All the Women I Am
Book Summary
A collection of poetry and a journal of self-discovery that lays bare the contradictions, the rage, and the freedom of being a woman. Through a direct and uncompromising poetic voice, the author explores guilt, desire, the body, and motherhood as territories of struggle. The work invites the reader to recognize herself in every page, to shed social mandates, and to celebrate the complexity of all the women who inhabit a single one.
What is it about?
The book is an intimate journey that traverses the different facets of female identity, from childhood to maturity.
