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.

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.
