Samenvatting:

Women Hold the Flame is the anger nobody talks about that women experience. From the grief that doesn't have a name, to lost girlhood, to the slow, messy, non-linear process of putting yourself back together after a bad whirlwind of men. Some of it will feel uncomfortably familiar, but some of it will finally give you the words you have spent years reaching for.

It's book of your best friend would write if she finally stopped holding back. As it's poems and stories that talk about, out loud what most of us have only whispered, thought in the shower, or cried about alone in the car. Sara Barrett wrote this for ALL women who have given endlessly, their everything to everyone, and she is just now starting to ask for what she actually wants.

This book is for all women. The ones in love, the ones done with love altogether, and the ones still somewhere in the middle trying to figure out what they even want. Married, divorced, single, widowed, doing it completely alone or doing it with someone who still somehow makes you feel alone. Moms, non-moms, women who never got a say in which one they became. If you have ever sat across from someone, especially a man, and realized he had absolutely no idea what your life actually costs you.

Fans of Rupi Kaur, Amanda Lovelace, and anyone who has ever screenshotted something just to send it to their group chat will feel right at home here.
