I was really looking forward to 'She's a Knockout,' but it arrived with a damaged cover. The content seems interesting, but I was bummed about the condition. I hope the next one I order will be in better shape!

'She's a Knockout' has some great stories, but I found the organization a bit confusing. It jumps around a lot, which made it hard to follow at times. It still has some great insights into women fighters!
