My review for UNREASONABLE WOMEN on goodreads. It says “CW: Graphic violence, Sexual Assault, Child SA, gore, child death This book is about the concept of criminalized survival. This book follows three women and how their lives were shaped by poverty, sexual assault, and finally the threat of losing their life. This line stood out to me: "When these women were victims, they could not access proper services support or care. Then, the moment they defended themselves, they were considered criminals, and no expense was spared in their punishment." Definitely a very important read albeit extremely heavy read.
