I wish I'd read this when I was younger!
It's so, so great!
Everything mentioned in this book- every theme has literally been asked by men in life. So many nuanced of intersectionalities came out of this book, it's not funny. "Why do you say women? What about a black man or a poor man instead?" to the bros who tell you "I don't see gender", she touches upon most of the themes argued by Internet bros around the world.
I'd not go as far as saying it's to be read by everyone in the world. But it should, perhaps be read by those who wish to have a very short introduction to feminism. That is, those who are misguided enough to ask 'but why women's rights? shouldn't we say human rights?'
Ugh. If only I hadn't driven away stupid men with my anger, I could have thrown this book at them. Sucks that men can't handle angry women because, of course, she's a bitch. *insert major eye roll*

Everyone - all genders, feminists, non-feminists - should read this. It is a short essay that can be read in under an hour. Honestly, I spent more time writing this review because I want to convince you to read it!
Many of the author’s anecdotes are from her experiences in Nigeria, but these mistreatments, misjudgments, and prejudices also happen to womxn in the US. We may not always realize it when it happens because gender discrimination is so incredibly socialized and internalized. As she went through her stories, I thought of countless similar stories experienced by myself and/or my female friends. I know that these experiences are only more complex and so much deeper for Black women.
A fantastic and necessary educational piece on how feminism should be defined. It’s straightforward and eloquent, with the right amount of emotion, and doesn’t need to preach in order to be convincing.
My only negative point is that a lot of the language is cisnormative where it could be more inclusive.

She didn’t want to speak up because she didn’t want to seem aggressive.
The reality of so many of us.
