Maybe I’m just a misandrist instead of a feminist but I was just not impressed with the essays included in this book. They were overall very boring. Most of the the authors came across as not caring about feminism until it benefited them and nearly every single author did not once mention anything about intersectionality. There was one particular essay which was basically telling women it was their responsibility to make sure men view women as people instead of providing ways men can educate themselves. One author also said her feminist icon is JK Rowling? Which is an insane icon to have and honestly once I read that essay I gave up on trying to like the book.

Trochu mě mrzely překlepy kterých je v knize překvapivě hodně, některé "eseje" bych za eseje úplně nepovažovala, ale některé mě potěšily, mile překvapily a inspirovaly. Taková ideální knížka která se dá číst i ke knize jiné. :))

Has lots of interesting ideas and perspectives from a wide range of people about what feminism means to them. I found this really interesting and thought provoking and was an enjoyable and educational quick read

A good book for an introduction to feminism with some good essays included. The history of feminist theory was interesting too but would’ve made more sense at the beginning, before the essays so the ideas in it could be considered throughout. 

Would recommend for teens
