This book uses the same examples for different chapters, and dives deeply into Greek myth and modern day English speaking politicians, but is limited in first wave feminists and non-politicians trying to exist in the patriarchy.

Read Women and Power instead.

didn't like the basically immediate disregard of transgender people, women as members of no-penis club

I really enjoyed this, it wasn't the most compelling modern feminism book I've read lately but it was still an excellent book. The prose was entertaining and overall I think it's a great broader overview of gender inequality with a focus on notable women figures.
