Not much to say other than a must read for everyone. Full of snippets of what feminism means for the individuals who have contributed to this book and their experiences of feminism.

This book is an interesting and varied reflection on what it means to be a feminist and experiences of feminists through various stages of progression from discovering that they are, indeed, a feminist through to grappling with what that means and taking action. It is the sort of book that is better read by picking it up at various times while you are sitting on the sofa and reading a few chapters, more so than sitting down and reading front to back. I did it in the latter way and I just found it a bit tedious. The chapters are also highly variable in quality, which makes sense considering the fact that they have everyone from serious, professional women who work on substantive issues to professional lifetyle vloggers who work on YouTube (sorry, I know we are meant to take them very seriously as well now). As you can imagine, who you are as a person influences strongly how you react to the various chapters. It's a book that provides a pretty good introduction to feminism, but it wasn't a book I would strongly recommend everyone read.

Every word in this book is valuable. If you get the chance to read it, no matter how you identify, no matter if you think you're a feminist or not; read it.

I didn’t learn anything new but that might just be because it’s a bit old now!

Ну що тут ще додати, у мене тільки всі 5 зірочок для цих сильних, цікавих і натхненних жінок, бо ця книга про них і від них !

З цією збіркою я надихнулась, поплакала, подумала, посміхалася, а ще переглянула свої погляди на деякі речі і я за це цій книзі дуже вдячна!
Тепер вже продовжу свій шлях трішки оновленою <3
