I am delighted to share details today of my last weekly online review. This time it is from Graffiti Girls By Elissa Soave. My great thanks to Isabel Williams for originally sending me a copy of Graffiti Girls. My huge apologies to Elissa and HQ for the strange ‘the’ that has infiltrated my review! Life was quite challenging at that time and my brain increased and left!
I previously checked Elissa’s Ginger and me In a publication that you will find here.
Posted by HQ on March 13, 2025, Graffiti Girls It is available for purchase through the editor’s links here.
Graffiti girls
Amy, Carole, Lenore and Susan have been best friends from school. At that time they could not expect the future, because of the incredible lives they would have.
But things have not resolved how they expected. Now in their forty years, they are fed up with being given by their families, being transmitted by promotions at work and that they are told that they have had their best possible. And they will not be silent anymore.
Promoted by female anger and its charismatic leader Amy, the four embark on a graffiti campaign in his hometown of Hamilton, scribbling feminist slogans on the walls of local buildings.
But is Hamilton ready for the feminist revolution that graffiti girls have in the store?
My graffiti girl review
My complete review of Graffiti Girls It can be found on the My Weekly website here.
However, here I can say that Graffiti Girls It is a triumph of a quick and entertaining pace book that questions the patriarchy and could make its can of spray. I enjoyed it very much and found myself shrinking in the girls at all times.
