Meh. This book had good premises and interesting topics, but, all in all, I was disappointed by the lack of depth. So much, in fact, that I got bored and had to switch to the audiobook version to finish it, which I've never done before.

It was basic Feminism 101, very redundant with the plethora of information and reflexions you can already find online or hear everywhere. I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who already considers themselves an intersectional feminist, especially if they are part of a marginalized community (or several) because they already know about all of this.

It's pedestrian and overhyped. There are much much MUCH better contemporary pieces of feminist literature available. Giving very much champagne socialism. It claims to be accessible, yet introduces fairly complex terminology and rhetoric with no explanations. Also, it isn't very well written.
