Interesting to learn about Dolly and how her career/life is an example of feminism and pro-working class and poor women. Quick read and reads like an essay in the way Smarsh talks about parallel experiences in her family members’ lives.

Really liked this - was interesting and made me more cognizant of breathing patterns. I like how his experience in the study was one part of the storytelling and the other was discussing other studies and historical evidence.
fast-paced
Meh biased and lots of generalizations without any actionable takeaways.

Interesting and inspiring. A bit cliche writing at times and I wish there was more discussed about the systemic forces at play that allow toxic workplace cultures/behaviors to occur. However I admire her bravery and endurance.
