Rejected Princesses: A Book Review

Last week, Bookbub suggested Rejected Princesses by Jason Porath. I was a might skeptical (nonfiction can be very boring). This, however, was anything but. I was captivated, charmed, amused, and touched by the true stories of women I have never even heard of. When I told my mother about this incredible piece of work, do you know what she said? "They never wanted us to know how strong we really are and can be." Yeah, my mom is so cool, I know. You can't have her.

This book is simply awesome and I am totally going to recommend it to all my family, male and female. Because history shouldn't be one sided and it is not fair that women are seen as the sidekicks or afterthoughts in history books. Women can make history, cause change, and start a revolution. We just need to remember that we are not the first ones and know that we won't be the last. And that is all the Women's Lib you will get from me today.

I want to say thank you to Jason. Thank you for writing about the women we had almost forgotten. Thank you for being the one who acknowledged what women have brought to the table of life, the good, the bad, and the WOEWTET,TCWoW?!?!.  You may never see it, but, there it is.

If you want to know what that gibberish above means, leave a comment below an I will tell you. Also, the link to Jason's site, Rejected Princesses is right there. https://www.rejectedprincesses.com Click it, you know you want to....
