It’s scary how this book was published in 2000 and yet it’s 2023 and we are still fighting the same battle. But it’s gotten worse once Roe V. Wade was overturned. Everything changed and we are fighting for our lives on a daily basis.

Generally, I think this book does a great job at giving someone a basic rundown of feminist thought, and of persuading those who quasi-agree with feminism to become more strongly feminist. However, I don't think it would persuade an anti-feminist, and I found parts of the book to digress from the feminist cause (I don't think women should devote significant aspects of feminist movement to "fixing" men, as hooks slightly suggested, and I don't think parents being placed above children in a hierarchy is a symbol of patriarchal violence (though I did find the suggestion interesting)).
