A small but packed book about the history and theories of feminism. Perfect place to start for anyone who wants to start learning about feminism!

This is not an in-depth detailed look at Feminism but the clue is in the title: Introduction. It's very fast-paced and sometimes seems to jump around. Plus the cartoons are mostly unreadable on Kindle but that's not the author's fault. But it does what it says on the tin and is very accessible.

This is a very standard introduction. I learned a few interesting details but found there to be a lot missing and the book primarily focusing on the mainstream history of feminism and although it addresses the lack of diversity in both feminism and the telling of it, the book falls into the same trap. I disagreed with a couple of the perspectives and how they were posited in the book but it is a good quick primer.

A quick read (finished in one sitting). Had a very good description of feminism throughout history to modern day. Also provides recommendations throughout and at the end for more in-depth/further reading.
Free on Prime reading so definitely recommend if you have Amazon Prime and a spare afternoon.
