What on earth is a man doing reviewing a book written by a woman and clearly targeted at women?

Fair question. That is certainly what 10 Women Who Overcame Their Past appears to be. It is finished in a dusky pink and contains the stories of ten remarkable women, mostly well-known, and their testimonies of fighting the flesh (physical and spiritual) in this fallen world.
