4.5 but rounded up because I felt like this book deserved it! Would have liked more about current day influencers but I found this book pretty comprehensive. It didn't feel too academic on the whole and I wrote down a lot of great stuff.

Loved the book - got it out from the library and just didn’t read it fast enough!

This book details how feminism has long been a single issue campaign that largely excludes women and gender diverse people with other oppressed identities including people of colour, queer, disabled and poor people. More recently feminism has been branded as a corporate, consumerism and highly individualistic endeavour. The author calls for feminists to consider how to dismantle oppressive systems, rather than simply celebrating women CEOs as though that is a win for all women. I perhaps didn't find the alternatives or calls to action as concrete or detailed as they could have been - there was a lot of criticism of capitalism but little discussion of anti-capitalist alternatives that readers could inform themselves on and how to support leftist actions in day to day life.

Really enjoy the authors parallel of history and today. It is filled with research and I learned a lot.
