I picked this up one day hoping it would be a quick read,
but at the end I wanted more. #NotYourPrincess is full of a wide variety of moving
artwork, poetry, essays, short stories, and meaningful quotes from modern
Native American women who are sharing their stories. The pieces in these
collected works strongly speak volumes about the damage done by abuse and
stereotyping. Although it is heavily emotional, this book is beautiful, empowering,
and well worth the read if you are ready for it. This book is a quick read that will make your world bigger.
I would especially recommend this to any older teen that is
interested in poetry or one who is willing to allow themselves to learn more of
the challenges and hardships of Native American women. -MC
I will also caution that there was some distressing physical and
sexual abuse survivor stories in this book and that it might be better suited
for a more mature teen audience.
