This is the first non-fiction I've ever rated 5 stars and it truly deserves it. I normally take a lot longer to read non-fiction than fiction but this one was just as captivating as the best fiction books and was very readable so I kept wanting to pick it up and read it even when I only had a couple minutes between classes. I love that the language is so accessible but conveys really important and complex ideas, I think that's the best way to write political nonfiction. I also think it really deserves the 'inspiring' mood marker since after having read it I plan to use the chapter titles as a jumping-off point for issues I want to find opportunities to help tackle in the coming years. Kendall did a really great job writing a piece of text that is both informative and an incitement to action. I particularly love how every chapter ended with a couple paragraphs about how feminism could change to address that particular issue.

(I listened to the audiobook version.)
There wery many observations, ideas, and suggestions in this book that I found helpful for my own mindset, even when they might not have been completely new to me. It is important to note that this book does require you to be familiar with feminism, otherwise it is not as accessible. This is due to the fact that Kendall directs her words mainly to white mainstream feminists. I think anyone who considers themself a feminist should look into the ideas of this work and reflect upon them.

Really important piece of feminist literature. Forces readers to examine how poverty,race,education,health, etc are feminist issues. Some parts felt a little repetitive, but overall a really good read.
