A concise history of the feminist movement. Which fell short if expectations because it was too Western centric. Also intersectional feminism was barely spoken of. Though it occupies so much mind space today.
The graphics were good, but hard to read

good introduction to feminism but very much west-centric (there's a disclaimer in the first few pages about this). there's a short section that talked about feminism in developing countries. it was a very interesting section and i'd like to read more about it.

Thoughts:
Good basic introduction with movements dating back further than the suffragettes for a more complete timeline. Also contains a timeline and what is Feminism collection at the back.

It was okay. After reading [b:33 Things Every Girl Should Know About Women's History: From Suffragettes to Skirt Lengths to the E.R.A|301897|33 Things Every Girl Should Know About Women's History From Suffragettes to Skirt Lengths to the E.R.A|Tonya Bolden|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1320405845s/301897.jpg|292961] last year, there're only a few new things in this book for me. Everything in it are from US & UK history & community. In my environment, the problem with discrimination comes from more of tradition, culture and people mindset. So to change that is broaden one's mind and to do that, one need to read more!
Personally, I don't claim myself to be a feminist but I would fight for equality. Rant:
Spoiler
I have a very practical mind and there are things that i read and heard from the news that people that called themselves feminist fighting for are unnecessary and I wouldn't fight for. I dont want a female version of the street sign (what are they even for?!), I want chances in education, equal chances to hold positions, equal chances to a job vacancy (and not to discriminate when we're pregnant).myreadingcorner_'s review against another edition

I love this book. It was a great introductory book to understand feminism, including divergent approaches from different types of feminism. The book focuses on the history of feminism in the US and England throughout time. It also include a list of milestones in the history of feminism.
The only thing I didn't like about the book was the illustrations made by Jude Groves, I didn't like her style but the content of the book is so great that I can forgive that detail.
