Reviews for She - Poetry Every Woman Needs for a Fuller Inner Spiritual Life

[Devon Sereda Goldie · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

A really convoluted and disappointing read. It seems the authour was attempting to proffer a probing feminist examination of what it is to be “she.” However, I found the work to be deeply grounded in patriarchal norms and societal expectations. It seems to offer but one acceptable version of womanhood, a version of womanhood highly steeped in patriarchy with no room for women to make their own choices. It frames being married or in a relationship with a man as the ideal women are meant to aspire to and leaves no place for anyone outside that narrows scope - queer women, trans women, or even just women who don’t see their raison d’être as being with a man. For a book published in 2021, I found this book to be antiquated, contrarian, and exclusionary. Would not recommend.

Regarding the audiobook, I found the choice to hire a male narrator absolutely bizarre. It seems so clearly contrary to the intended aim of the work - it left me baffled. To hear these poems read by a man further elucidated the patriarchal basis of the work. The narrator himself does a fine job, but in my opinion was clearly the wrong choice for a book of poetry supposedly about the female experience.
