“Untamed” is Glennon Doyle’s liberating memoir, a call to arms for women to stop striving for the approval of others and instead, to start trusting the voice within. This self-proclaimed “love story” is a reflection of Glennon’s journey from a life bound by societal expectations to one of authenticity and freedom.  The memoir starts at a critical juncture in Doyle’s life when she fell instantly in love with Abby Wambach, a retired U.S. women’s soccer player, while still married to her then-husband. This unexpected twist forces Doyle to reassess everything she thought she knew about herself, love, and faith. It’s through this metamorphosis that Doyle comes to understand that being “tamed” by societal norms and expectations was the root cause of her discontent.  Doyle argues that women are conditioned from an early age to conform to society’s expectations about how they should behave, how they should look, and what they should want from life. She believes this conditioning makes women disconnect from their true selves, leading to a life of dissatisfaction. Through a series of revealing, heartfelt anecdotes, Doyle guides readers on a journey to rediscover and reclaim their authentic selves, which she refers to as their “Knowing.”  The book is filled with thought-provoking insights about breaking free from societal norms, loving oneself, and living authentically. “Untamed” is a beacon of hope and empowerment, not just for women, but for anyone who has ever felt boxed in by societal norms.
