When I started The Tell, a memoir by Amy Griffith, I couldn’t put it down and read it in a day or so.

I was captivated by the process she went through under her therapist’s supervision, taking psychedelics to unlock a buried trauma she’d been running from her entire life. I believe her story illustrates the fact that strong women are often the radical truth tellers in our society, and when they speak up, like Amy, they are often met with a spectrum of responses, both helpful and harmful.

From Lanier's list on strong women who determine their own destiny during trying times.
