Growing up a girl and becoming a woman in the current culture of our world is difficult at times and confusing for women as they try to find self-worth and empowerment. Dr. Elinsky has written a book that offers solutions to the self-worth, relationship, and often mental health troubles that women feel because of patriarchal messages and misogynistic ideals. Her book begins in part one with her personal experiences with men, both positive and negative, as she was growing up and entering romantic relationships. Part two then outlines some of the tools and solutions that help women to become "fire women." Some of the strategies include reparenting yourself, knowing your worth, and surrounding yourself with people who bring light into your life. Elinsky retells her own stories and solutions with the openness of a close friend, the candor of a genuine activist, and the grit of a woman who has wisely centered herself as a true "fire woman."
