hopeful informative inspiring mysterious medium-paced

I related to a lot of what was discussed in this book. Some of it I obviously couldn’t relate to and I understand why she wrote about it, but it wasn’t what I was expecting to read about. This is also very much not intersectional( I feel like I’m using the wrong word). It’s kind of white feminism, but not if that makes sense.

I loved this book, I love Lindy West, I hate that we're still having the same conversations 5 years after this book was first publised. However things are changing, conversations are happening, there is still hope.
