The Girl Who Said Sorry by Hayoung Yim
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Although this is written as a children's book, The Girl Who Said Sorry is a familiar tale for every female. It expresses the frustration of the constant state of living within double standards, be great--but not too great, be thin--but not too thin, speak your mind--but stop talking. It's purpose is to address all of those things that girls and women immediately apologize for because that's the way we've all been raised. And it rightly points out that being apologetic for being yourself is something we all need to move away from.
