Reviews

The 500 photos predominantly feature protest signsfrom the powerful (written on the stripes of an American flag: Love is love. Black lives matter. Climate change is real. Immigrants make America great. Womens rights are human rights.) to the funny (Trump eats pizza with a fork!) to the simple (UGH). Interspersed with the photos are quotes from speeches given at the marches by powerful women. These include politicians such as Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, activists such as Janet Mock, Gloria Steinem, and Angela Davis, and celebrities such as Ashley Judd and Janelle Mone. Bust

Thought-provoking.
