challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.75

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.

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.
