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.

Florence Given ist eine international  jungen Stimmen des Feminismus in den sozialen Medien. 

Inhalt: 
Die zweiundzwanzigjährige Florence Given ermutigt ihre LeserInnen, sich von gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen freizumachen. Ob es um »pretty privilege«, Selbstliebe, »Catcalling« oder Enthaarung geht, Florence Given öffnet uns die Augen darüber, wie stark das Frauenbild in unserer Gesellschaft noch immer von Oberflächlichkeit und Sexismus geprägt ist, und was das für Frauen an Einschränkungen zufolge hat. Sie geht dabei alle Themen an, die heute wichtig und kontrovers diskutiert werden: Rassismus, Sexismus, queere Identitäten, Body Positivity, Online-Dating und toxische Männlichkeit. Ein feministischer Ratgeber (nicht nur) für junge Frauen.

Meinung: 
Auf unfassbar sympathische Art und ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger, sondern mehr aufzeigend, bespricht Sie gesellschaftliche Probleme und patriarchale Strukturen, so wie Misogynie. Zudem gibt die Autorin Ratschläge internalisierte Werte dieser Themen aufzubrechen und sich selbst kritisch zu hinterfragen. Sie tut Sies mit Hilfe Ihres jüngeren Ichs und versucht diesem den gesellschaftlichen Druck zu nehmen.
So erklärt die Autorin mit ganz viel Empathie und Charme warum Diversität so wichtig ist und wie wir unsere Privilegien kennen sollten, um Feminismus für alle zugänglich zu machen.

This book took me ageesss to read. like, 3 months, that's the longest a book has ever taken me to read. It wasn't that I didn't like the book, I definitely did, I'm just not used to this kind of book. This book, while being a sort of beginner take on feminism (still a great thing, everything helps, you've gotta start somewhere I guess) was still definitely something you take stuff away from to reflect on. the illustrations really added a more lighthearted quirk, and made it easy to share ideas with others.
