Meghan Lamb's Reviews > Heroines

I read Heroines every year at the point when I feel most frustrated and alone in my writing. I've lived so much in the margins of this book, bending pages, underlining, scribbling, crying, sweating, dripping, through all the many baths of the many apartments I've moved among re-reading Kate's words. And for every time I go into this book feeling tired, anxious, ambivalent, and impossibly messy, I emerge exhilarated, exalted for all the mess that I am. This book is my armor. I am so grateful to Kate for writing it.
