challenging dark informative slow-paced

3.75

Informative, critical, work on an important topic. As much as I admire the book, it was a difficult read because of the intense violence, oppression, and dismal treatment of women it reports on.

gabgeh's review against another edition

dark informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

A dense, but worth-it, detailed description of the history of women, men, sexism, the patriarchy, and more. Expect graphic details of the gruesome punishments women have endured in the fight for the recognition of their full humanity.
