Wow, this has been a good surprise.
Some parts are getting my stomach in knots, though.
Anyone else?

Sometimes I feel like Sonja. Watching my friends fly away to freedom and new lives as I am left behind. I feel like my time is coming soon. The dragon in me is surfacing. #WhenWomenWereDragons

Two people standing back to back in tattered clothing with books floating all around them. One is blindfolded. The other is not blindfolded, but still will not look at the books.
"The only thing more patently obscene than ignorance is willful ignorance."
~Kelly Barnhill in When Women Were Dragons

Ethereal women of diverse ages and ethnicities surrounded by swirling magical energy and glowing auras, each woman channeling different forms of magic - one with flowers blooming from her hands, another with starlight emanating from her eyes, another weaving threads of golden light, set in a dreamlike forest clearing with soft morning light filtering through ancient trees, magical particles dancing in the air, hyperrealistic fantasy art style, cinematic lighting, rich jewel tones
"All women are magic. Literally all of us. It’s in our nature."
Quoted from When Women Were Dragons. Loved this book @kellybarnhill.bsky.social!

"Perhaps this is how we learn silence— an absence of words, an absence of context, a hole in the universe where the truth should be."

"I was never allowed to be angry, was I? My ability to discover and understand the power of my own raging was a thing denied to me. Until, at last, I learned to stop denying myself."

Excellent book!

Sans doute parce que cela ne se résume pas à cela. C’est d’abord et surtout une histoire de famille racontée par une enfant qui au fil des pages devient une adulte. On a rarement aussi bien parlé du genre dans un roman. Transformés.

I've also got a paperback of #WhenWomenWereDragons by Kelly Barnhill from my local library for #BookClub. I'm about a third of the way in and really enjoying it! OHHHHHH, and #R.LeeSmith. I finished Cottonwood in April. I love everything I've read by R. Lee Smith. #BookSky #BookishUpdates

"This is what we know: On April 25, 1955, between the hours of 11:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. central time, 642,987 American women — wives and mothers, all — became dragons. All at once. A mass dragoning. The largest in history."

This is one of those hard to describe books I love. I was totally engrossed & the ending left my feeling very bittersweet & a bit sad. Def recommend if the blurb interests you.

"Who benefits when knowledge is buried? Who gains when science succumbs to political experiency? Not I, Congressmen. And certainly not the American people, whom you are honor bound to serve."
Currently reading and already 6 pages in I've found a quote that feels very relevant.

I’m diving into #Whenwomenweredragons and the dedication got me emotional. As I’m working through the audiobook, I was getting a bit lost and then came across a very eloquent and non-spoiler review and now my brain can focus on it.
I love memoir-style writing and I also love #feminist literature.
