A fantastic book on a complex but necessary subject. I learnt a lot from this book and it made me reflect on how I can be a better accomplice to marginalized women. The book was mostly accessible but my only gripe is that I sometimes found the writing style hard to understand, not sure if that's the result of how complicated the subject is or the way it was edited. Otherwise, an amazing book that everyone should read.

This is a tough read at times, but so incredibly necessary. White feminism often makes itself out to be feminism as a whole, but there are a lot of missing pieces that this book starts to highlight. Read it!

I want to carry this around like a holy book. I want to write a year-long monthly book club guide that goes through this book one chapter at a time. Like. god. wow. I feel like you could learn something new every time you read it.

informative medium-paced

4.5

I don’t think I’ve read a non fiction book that wasn’t for school in years but this was an incredibly important read and despite it taking me a few months to get through Im glad I got around to reading and finishing it 
Covers a lot of really important topics - some of which I’d thought about before but many I also hadn’t at least not in the depth that they require
really important read **
