As a chronically online intersectional feminist this brought no real new info but it reinforced my ideas of feminism and my leftist ideals. 

I like her writing style and a lot of the book is very recognizable as a bi woman of the same age. Its a great introduction for people that are not that deep in to (intersectional) femenism yet. 

The only thing that I'm missing is when she lists marginalised groups she tends to omit disabled in the list. Maybe she focuses on it more in the full version, but sometimes every marginality is mentioned but that. I know it's the short version but it wouldn't have added a page I think.

It lacks some chapters from the original edition, which I was not aware of before purchasing, however, it does have an extra chapter the original does not have.

This book was good and definitely gave me a few thing to think about (even as someone who is fairly far into the destruction of their internalized misogynist). Language used was inclusive, and I appreciated the inclusion of diverse groups, and not cis-het white feminism. 

 “disability” is not a word, It is supposed to be “ablest” 

A view of western feminism.

as someone who usually only reads fiction, i didn’t expect to love this book! yet i regret not reading it earlier. i believe this book would’ve helped me heal quicker… but on the other hand it’s amazing to reflect how far i’ve come! 
i annotated the shit out of this tiny book… what can i say? HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
if i wouldn’t have annotated so much, i would’ve lent it to every guy i know, and all the girlies out there. 
this book shouldn’t only be read by girls, this is also so relevant for guys!! wanna understand our society? your sister, mother, girlfriend, best friend, … this book is your guide!!
