A bit gender essentialist and white feminist for me, but the actual information is interesting and inarguably worth knowing.

Great to see so many statistics and the thorough way of sharing all that data. I did like the book a lot, I just wish it was more intersectional. Where is race, disability and sexuality? Fat-, indigenous- and transwomen?
I get that the book was written with one topic (ciswomen) in mind and I guess there was just not enough space for more diverse point of views? But to be honest just like this book tells us women have been ignored and silenced for so long in a way that causes a lot of misinformation and suffering (which is true), in the exact same way it is ignoring all the intersectionality. 

It’s a good start though, and I can’t wait to gift it to people who claim feminism isn’t needed anymore.
