This book should be compulsory reading, I recommend to anyone who wants to grow and improve as an open-minded, empathic person. As someone who has read a few books like this, it was mostly reinforcing things I already knew, although some of the stats shocked me in a sad way. It was a reminder that I am a boss, and that my feminist ideals are not “too extreme”, and has helped me to allow that part of myself to come a bit further out of hiding.

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.

A little bit instagram-caption-y.
Some great ideas and concepts, and very insightful and deep in places, but I kept expecting something groundbreaking.
