Some excellent chapters that dug into relevant issues for women and included some thought provoking questions. Some chapters or areas didn’t hit as hard, I found the most rich ideas in the second half of the book. Nonetheless I’d recommend this read for any female from teenage upwards.

Great book, really loved it. Thank you for sharing this journey. So many things made a lot more sense and still so much to learn and be more open minded

This book addresses many topics that a lot of women are constantly thinking about and wondering if weather we are the only ones. This book offers a lot of inspiration and opened my mind to different topics and perspectives that I had not cared to consider before. It really made me take a step back and check myself. The conversation held is this book is a must read for all women!!! especially if you are feeling like you need a boost mentally or need some solid advice to get you going. This is a whole other level of feminist discourse - one where we can all relate and acknowledge that the things we do everyday are not normal just normalized.

Ein wichtiges Buch, das schon lange auf meiner Liste war. Auch wenn für mich vieles nicht neu war, war es gut manches nochmal zu hören und einige gute Denkanstöße waren dabei. Besonders den Privilegien Check finde ich sehr gut und wichtig.

2.5 stars - Not really sure how to rate this, so gone with an “in-the-middle” kinda rating. Some of what she said seemed radical in some senses, but mostly it was nothing new. I feel like she presents a lot of her opinions as facts which isn’t really right, and there was a few things I didn’t really agree with. Some points were interesting, and I could relate to a few things, but wasn’t really a fan of how she implied you’re basically a bad human being if you don’t abide by all the things she said you should abide by.

It was ok, nothing new or ground breaking here. All stuff I’ve read before. Definitely aimed at a younger generation, I.e people in their teens.
