challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective

4.25

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.

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.
