This book was good and definitely gave me a few thing to think about (even as someone who is fairly far into the destruction of their internalized misogynist). Language used was inclusive, and I appreciated the inclusion of diverse groups, and not cis-het white feminism. 

 “disability” is not a word, It is supposed to be “ablest” 

A view of western feminism.

great book about intersectional feminism, self-love and healing. sadly i knew lots of it already. sometimes i felt it got a little repetitive but that might just be bc i was already familiar with so much of the content before hand. beautiful art.
