A Woman is No Man

emily_alwubayran shared a tip "A poignant novel of vicious cycles, silence, and courage. Told in a delicate yet defiant voice, this sorry tackles the incredibly complicated themes of displacement, motherhood, sexism, trauma, and family ties. It searches for answers; what does freedom truly mean? What is it worth, and what does it take? What life changes are necessary to heal and move on? A personal, powerful debut."

jessica_balderamas shared a tip "A very good book, with powerful messages about women’s rights. At times it was a very heavy read but there was purpose and truth behind it."

sagihilarious shared a tip "It's very repetitive. The main character fights with her grandmother over the same thing over and over. She wants to go to college, but we're given no reason why. Her sisters may as well not be characters because they literally do nothing aside from take up space. We are told their personalities, not shown."
