"I tore through the wonderful essays in She's Got This! They're funny, heartbreaking, profound, gutsy, sexy, thrilling, and inspiring. And they're wonderfully written, with grace and depth. Each essay tells one woman's heroic story; the collection reveals the fierce and beautiful face of feminism."

"We read for truth, to feel a little bit less alone, to sense an author's heartbeats on the page. She's Got This! takes us deep into the heart of matter . . . after reading these essays, I feel life's pulse more deeply, which is a credit to the authors' boldness on the page."
