For Keeps is a marvelous collection by women for women, and I found it to be a thoroughly satisfying read. As with any collection, some pieces are better than others, but on the whole, these essays are compelling, intelligent, insightful, and inspiring. I laughed and cried right along with the writers, and even when they wrote about experiences I didn’t wholly understand or identify with, I gained something from their pieces. I heartily recommend For Keeps for women readers and anyone interested in women’s studies, gender, body image, and the complex relationships women have with our bodies. I also think it would be a fantastic resource for older adolescent readers who are beginning to face many of the issues presented in the essays and who would enjoy hearing from older, wiser women who have been there and lived to tell about it.
