The Dilemmas of Working Women: Stories

Yulez

The Dilemmas of Working Women, follows five different women all dealing with different struggles, gendered expectations, Identity, and inequality. It portrays the resilience of women unwilling to compromise their goals or aspirations for what society deemed fit of them. Yamamotos writing comes off as reflective and melancholic at times but it helps add to the overall mood in each story. She writes about depression in such a visceral way that you have no doubt she’s felt this personally at some point in her life. I love that she balances her writing with moments of comedic relief when needed to give a breath of life back into the story. The five short stories found in this collection are: • Naked • Planarian • Here, Which Is Nowhere • The Dilemmas of Working Women • A Tomorrow Full of Love Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
