PRAISE"Raising Women is undeniably candid in how it mirrors the hoops girls jump through to bargain their place in society. Waite illuminates the desperate craving they have for belonging in a culture that is quick to cast them as pawns on a chessboard."Raising Women is a book that knows you. It knows all your secrets. It knows all the thoughts you've had. It knows what choices you've made, as well as the choices you'd change if you could go back and be a teenage girl again. It also knows that sometimes, a little self-discovery is the scariest thing of all." — REBECCA JONES-HOWE, author of Vile Men and Ending in Ashes "Less a journey and more a plummet through a mad funhouse of personal discovery, risky behaviors, and strange bedfellows, to a place where the reader overturns narrative stones and returns time and again for those left unturned, and the questionable choices become their own with every turn of the page." — JASON M. FYLAN, author of "Engines, O-Rings, and Astronauts" in Burnt Tongues "Raising Women offers insight on how to acknowledge the human being and their experience, shattering any judgements of what a "real" woman should be, look and think like." — LIANNA ALBRIZIO, Reedsy Discovery "Waite builds a story with consistencies through each path." — COURTNEE TURNER HOYLE, Readers' Favorite (5-star review) |
