My Review:

 I have dipped into this book over the last few weeks and, on the whole, enjoyed ‘listening‘ to the voices of so many inspiration women giving their opinions and their voice to what it is like to be a woman living in these times. There are many sections: arts, sports, feminism, music, politics – so many different walks in life; so varied. Some so intense that it’s only been possible to read one or two before having to set the book aside to think about their issues, their points of view. I have to admit there have been so many scenarios that I have not had to deal with in my life – and I have great admiration for the strength of character that comes through in the telling.

 A small note of disappointment and something that could easily be rectified; the book does need another edit and proofreading. I’ll leave it at that.

 However. the honesty and integrity shines throughout the book in these uncensored interviews and I have no hesitation in recommending Generation W. A word of warning though: this is a book to buy to keep, to, as I say above, to dip into. It’s actually a book I will give to my granddaughter when she is older. It shows that so much can be achieved by anyone with determination and self- belief
