Much like her anthology "(Don't) Call Me Crazy", I found this collection to be very informative and incredibly important.

I loved the formatting of this anthology, and the incorporation of essays, illustrations, and book/film recommendations for stories that further highlight feminism. I also appreciated the inclusion of various online resources to further educate yourself on the feminist movement!
