While this book began to drag for me, largely because I had to put it on hold for months while I finished school, I am glad I read it. It's the first real feminist writing I've encountered, and it read as the early writings of the third wave of feminism. There are strong notes of intersectionality and working for multiple causes in here. Really, it made me want to read a lot more feminist theory than I already have.

I'm also massively interested in nonviolence, and one of the essays I found particularly interesting was the nonviolence of self-defense. It was interesting to read some of these women coming to terms with what nonviolence is and it's role in society and in the feminist movement.
