I wish I'd read this when I was younger!
It's so, so great!
Everything mentioned in this book- every theme has literally been asked by men in life. So many nuanced of intersectionalities came out of this book, it's not funny. "Why do you say women? What about a black man or a poor man instead?" to the bros who tell you "I don't see gender", she touches upon most of the themes argued by Internet bros around the world.
I'd not go as far as saying it's to be read by everyone in the world. But it should, perhaps be read by those who wish to have a very short introduction to feminism. That is, those who are misguided enough to ask 'but why women's rights? shouldn't we say human rights?'
Ugh. If only I hadn't driven away stupid men with my anger, I could have thrown this book at them. Sucks that men can't handle angry women because, of course, she's a bitch. *insert major eye roll*

4.5✨ a brief but persuasive essay on why feminism matters.
i loved this book so much. it’s actually an essay from a TedTalk, so you can watch it on youtube but i HIGHLY recommend reading this no matter who you are.
“We spend too much time teaching girls to worry about what boys think of them. But the reverse is not the case. We don’t teach boys to care about being likeable.”
“Why should a woman’s success be a threat to a man?”
UGH this was so incredibly eye opening; after i read this i cried in anger for like ten minutes but i was so moved and this essay is so inspiring. EVERYONE should read this book, just like EVERYONE should be a feminist.

"My own definition of a feminist is a man or a
woman who says, yes, there’s a problem with gender as it is today and
we must fix it, we must do better. All of us, women and men, must do
better". 💖

I must’ve been living under a rock, because I didn’t realize this was more of an essay than a book when someone said they’d pass along their copy- but I actually loved its pocket-size and message. I understand what it’s like to come from a culture you love, but has a long way to go on the feminist front, so while the message isn’t exactly revolutionary to a young girl raised in the US, I can see how it is for millions of girls around the world.
