I read this book to try to get out of a reading slump and it worked like a charm. It’s a very on-point, fast paced collection of wisdom and reflective impulses that encourage healing and growth. It’s an amazing representation/definition of what intersectional feminism is and what it isn’t.

Although I didn't agree with all of it and some would say it is not new information, I found this book super insightful and filled with some really great information and reality checks. I think this is a great intro/beginners insight into feminist thought and a very intriguing read for anyone who needs a reminder of their self-worth.

I loved the way this was written and could identify with the majority of the author's struggles. A very intersectional, sensitive, funny and take-no-bullshit approach to the way women are seen as vessels of male expectations. A must-read.

This book took me ageesss to read. like, 3 months, that's the longest a book has ever taken me to read. It wasn't that I didn't like the book, I definitely did, I'm just not used to this kind of book. This book, while being a sort of beginner take on feminism (still a great thing, everything helps, you've gotta start somewhere I guess) was still definitely something you take stuff away from to reflect on. the illustrations really added a more lighthearted quirk, and made it easy to share ideas with others.
