This is a book for every library collection. The casual sexism that many women get every day is well-represented here, as well as the way that we often let athletes get away with more. So, so, good.
Side note: There is a little bit of intersectionality, but this is mostly from a white feminist POV. Still worth reading, but good to note.

Black Panther: World of Wakanda
Yona Harvey, Afua Richardson, Rembert Browne, Joe Bennett, Roxane Gay, Ta-Nehisi Coates
Pretty good! I actually read this after reading Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates, and I think it would have made more sense for me to read it first. It would have given me more context for the Dora Mihaje. Either way, I am here for all of this.
I would give it more like 2.5 stars. It was cute, but not earth-shattering. I liked Knisley's memoir better.
This is my least favorite of the Harry Potter books (which is about the equivalent of when I say Jayne is my least favorite of my favorite characers in Firefly).
I liked this one even more than the first. I felt like Mana is growing with each book. The side characters are well-developed and act like real people. I enjoyed this adventure and further exploration of what Mana is. I look forward to more in the series.
I enjoyed this view of different women through what they ate. I personally found the first two chapters harder to read, but once I hit Eleanor Roosevelt, I felt like the book hit its stride. Roosevelt, Braun, Pym, and Gurley Brown were all very readable and enjoyable. I'm not sure if there was more information about these women which made it more readable, or if it was my own bias. Either way, it made me think about my own food life, and that was an interesting take on my life I hadn't considered before.
Very good book. I have had "Jolene" stuck in my head for days and I don't even care.
Just as good as the first, if not better. Love Ada and her prickliness.
My favorite Sarah Cowell.
