These three immersive narratives follow Brittany Smith, a young woman from Stevenson, Alabama, who killed a man she said raped her but was denied the protection of the Stand-Your-Ground law; Angoori Dahariya, leader of a gang in Uttar Pradesh, India, dedicated to avenging victims of domestic abuse; and Cicek Mustafa Zibo, a fighter in a thousands-strong all-female militia that battled ISIS in Syria oman chose to use lethal force to gain power, safety, and freedom when the institutions meant to protect them, government, police, courts, utterly failed to do so.

The novelistic accounts of these three women provoke questions about how to achieve true gender equality, and offer profound insights in the quest for answers"--

And what does dissociation look like?This book starts out in a state of disorder jumping from topic to topic which is common in those with Complex-PTSD. It will take you on a journey through the author's healing process and why it is so important for her and her family's lives at this time.
