2.5 stars from me.
Just kind of a mixed bag, some essays were great and some were just kinda okay.

Wasn't engaging me tbh, it had a lot of potential but didn't do it for me.

Lacks wide range of perspectives, despite the multitude of authors. Felt like only half the story at times in that important perspectives of trans and non binary communities, and men, were omitted. 
However it felt quite empowering, as a woman, to read. There was lots to relate to.

Overall: An inspirational and powerful book surrounding gender equality. The book is divided into sections: Epiphany, Anger, Joy, Poetry Break, Action, Education, Further Reading. Each section features personal and unique essays from a range of women, with different views and backgrounds. The essays explore what feminism means to each of the women and highlights that feminism doesn’t mean one thing but many and we all have our own definition. One of my favourites, The Weaker Sex by Kiera Knightley.
What I would like to see, is a book similar to this but with both female and male perspectives - this would be a true #BalanceforBetter read!

Overall very informative. Some of the authors were better suited than others. The poetry was beautiful. I'd love to to have a trans voice reflected in the book. Or other own voices speak on their experiences with feminism as a social construct
