I listened to this as it was a short reading to progress my book count. I enjoyed the author's perspective and thought she covered a lot of aspects of the topic of feminism. I'm intrigued to read some of her other work and novels.
Some people ask: "Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?" Because that would be dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general—but to choose to use the vague expression human rights is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women. That the problem was not about being human, but specifically about being a female human. For centuries, the world divided human beings into two groups and then proceeded to exclude and oppress one group. It is only fair that the solution to the problem acknowledge that.
"Feminist" is a word that we need to reclaim and not feel ashamed to use. So, I'm a feminist and I need to use this word more often.

I’m disappointed with her views on transgender issues, but she’s an intellectual with some meaningful things to say, whether or not they conform to my own personal credences.
