This was pretty good, i liked that there was a lot of focus on explaining the changes with hormones, life events, etc. it was also really good at talking about practical ways to develop and deal with the adhd symptoms. A good read!
Janina Maschke's audiobook, is an insightful and empowering work that explores the unique challenges women with ADHD face. In my opinion, the audiobook is narrated in a clear and engaging manner, making it accessible to listeners regardless of their prior knowledge of the subject. Maschke's tone is compassionate and understanding, which adds a personal touch to the book. The narration strikes a balance between being informative and empathetic, which I believe is crucial for a topic as personal and often stigmatized as ADHD. The book's focus on how ADHD specifically affects women is, in my view, its greatest strength. Maschke fills a much-needed gap in the literature by addressing the specific challenges that women face in a world that often fails to recognize their struggles. The audiobook offers practical strategies that listeners can implement in their daily lives, making it not just an educational resource but also a practical guide. Additionally, Maschke's feminist approach is both empowering and validating for women who have felt marginalized or misunderstood because of ADHD. While the audiobook is generally excellent, I believe it could benefit from greater diversity of voices and experiences. The experiences of women of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those from different socioeconomic backgrounds could be further explored to provide a more inclusive perspective on ADHD. In conclusion, is, in my opinion, a must-listen for women with ADHD and anyone interested in understanding the condition through a feminist lens. It is informative, practical, and deeply empathetic, offering valuable insights and strategies for women who have long been overlooked by traditional ADHD narratives. The audiobook not only educates but also empowers women to thrive in a world that was not designed with their needs in mind.
I recently listened to the audiobook version of A Feminist’s Guide to ADHD and found it insightful. The narrator was clear and easy to follow, making the experience enjoyable. This book is a must for anyone who suspects they might have ADHD, knows someone who does, or simply wants to learn more about it. It opened my eyes (and ears) to many aspects of ADHD that I recognized in myself.
Thank you to #WatkinsPublishing for my audio copy via #NetGalley.
Reminded me a little of the Ellie Middleton book I’ve read, having a family member with AFHA this book was something that really benefited us. Honest and clearly set out, not all non fiction suits audio but this one definitely does. It’s easy to concentrate on which is particularly important given the topic it covers. Great job, have recommended to family and friends
A wonderfully supportive book. Clear explanations and helpful advice for those with adhd and those who are supporting someone with adhd. The female viewpoint is very important and helps clarify why so many women haven’t be diagnosed until later in life. The clarify on behaviours and reasons for these behaviours was very informative.
A must read for anyone affected by adhd.
