This book isn't perfect (it weirdly never mentions capitalism despite that feeling a bit like the elephant in the room at some points) but it doesn't need to be. It's an amazing wake-up call for white women and I really think we'd make a lot more progress more quickly if we could just snap our fingers and have everyone read this. And not just read it, but really really think about how your own racism plays into this.

This is ultimately one of the most comprehensive call-ins that directly calls white women to do better. I honestly think that every white woman should read this text, interrogate their own reactions to what Jackson and Rao are saying, and return to this regularly to check in on if they have been doing the work.

There are uncomfortable topics covered by this book, but they are discussed as bad things, they're not encouraged or supported in the text. E.g. there are explicit examples of cultural appropriation, but the book is pointing out why this is wrong.
