accessible, intro to feminism essays  and despite nothing new, it was still engaging. however where is the intersectionality and capitalism was mentioned on the second last page lol. Also what is going on with the ode to Virginia Woolf and Susan Sontag’s fractured relationship.

pingureads's review

3.0

 Some of these essays felt fleshed out and insightful, standouts for me were Grandmother Spider, Woolf's Darkness and Worlds Collide in a Luxury Suite. Men Explain Things to Me, the titular essay, felt simplistic and underdeveloped even for it's age and having brought this phenomenon to the forefront of the political and feminist conversation. The Longest War was a series of entirely-too-graphic statistics on SA and DV rather than an essay.

While the collection has some gems, it is not enough of a fundamental text to ignore the flaws of the discussion. Pick up a more nuanced and contemporary collection on similar topics of feminism and that will serve you much better than this does on that.
