I’m giving this a good 3.5 stars, as I was wavering between 3 and 4 throughout reading it. Some of the essays were truly enlightening, while others were kind of common sense? Maybe I went into this book already knowing more about the feminist movement than the writers anticipated, but I’d definitely recommend this to people who are trying to figure out what exactly feminism is, and what it’s fighting for

Buenas intenciones, pero terrible libro. Está por todos lados, nada concreto y en resumen una pérdida de tiempo.
Creí que lo iba a abandonar antes, pero llegué al 55% por pura necedad.
Los "ensayos" en su gran mayoría están todos mal hechos y hay muchos que son "yo, más que un ensayo tengo una anécdota irrelevante/un comentario". Y hubo algunos que me molestaron bastante, por condescendientes o porque según ellos es MI trabajo estar educando hombres, porque pobrecitos, cómo sufren por culpa del machismo. En una de esas hasta sufren más que las mujeres.
Y también me da mucho gusto que en una parte Scarlett, la recopiladora, me dé permiso de estar enojada con la situación y gritar... Pero eh, solo con hombres malos y que se lo merezcan.
Y no Scarlett, los hombres no pueden ser feministas.

When I first read this book, as a young girl, it instantly became one of my favourite books. Even now, I still love it- and here's why. I understand what other people mean when they say that this book seems to be targeted at young women, which I think is true. But I don't think it makes it any less enjoyable for any other readers, don't dismiss it merely due to that. This book is so unapologetically itself, there are elements that will shock you, parts that will make you laugh, parts will make you angry and aspects will cause you to really rethink how you treat other women and how you yourself are treated. I am thankful for this book as it has allowed me to realise the ingrained sexism within myself, and therefore I can start the process of undoing what I've been taught. You will learn so many things from this book and aspects of it are serious, but at the same time, it can be an enjoyable read to dip in and out of when you please. The fact that each of the women has interpreted the question in so many different ways and forms is not only interesting but quite beautiful. I don't think it's essential feminist reading by any means, but it's an enjoyable book and I really recommend for anyone who is interested in Feminism.
A fabulous collection of essays with a wide range of perspectives. Personal favourites included:

I have learnt so much from this book but there’s still a long way to go.

Pár článků mi přišlo úžasných. Většina z nich jsou ty, které měly více než 3 stránky. Zbytek bych úplně napohodu vyškrtala. Ke koupi nedoporučuji, ale pokud byste se k ní někdy dostali, tak si přečtení úplně litovat nebudete.
