Absolutely necessary reading for those of us interested in keeping our feminism intersectional. The part about AOC is a bit 🫢 since there’s currently videos circulating of her freaking out when people confront her regarding the genocide in Palestine but hey, this was published in 2021. Not the author’s fault

Every single bit of this was educational, informative, and necessary!

I picked this book on a whim because, as a white woman, I'm well aware of just how problematic white women can be. I knew in abstract that the feminist movement was problematic regarding racism due to random tidbits I've read. I knew that the person who founded Planned Parenthood, while arguably a great organization in this day and age, wanted to sterilize large groups of people that she didn't think should be allowed to reproduce.

I'm glad to have found this book.

I struggled to rate this book… the information provided is extremely important and informative. I liked the was it was broken up and structured, comparing two feminists with similar (yet vastly different) goals. However, I found it very dense, and dry, and had a hard time maintaining my focus. There were a number of times I had to break each chapter into 3 or 4 chunks, putting the book down and taking breaks just to get through it. So while I appreciated the read, I did not find it to be an easy one.
