A quick read (finished in one sitting). Had a very good description of feminism throughout history to modern day. Also provides recommendations throughout and at the end for more in-depth/further reading.

Free on Prime reading so definitely recommend if you have Amazon Prime and a spare afternoon.

A concise history of the feminist movement. Which fell short if expectations because it was too Western centric. Also intersectional feminism was barely spoken of. Though it occupies so much mind space today.
The graphics were good, but hard to read

good introduction to feminism but very much west-centric (there's a disclaimer in the first few pages about this). there's a short section that talked about feminism in developing countries. it was a very interesting section and i'd like to read more about it.

Thoughts:
Good basic introduction with movements dating back further than the suffragettes for a more complete timeline. Also contains a timeline and what is Feminism collection at the back.

It was okay. After reading [b:33 Things Every Girl Should Know About Women's History: From Suffragettes to Skirt Lengths to the E.R.A|301897|33 Things Every Girl Should Know About Women's History From Suffragettes to Skirt Lengths to the E.R.A|Tonya Bolden|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1320405845s/301897.jpg|292961] last year, there're only a few new things in this book for me. Everything in it are from US & UK history & community.

Personally, I don't claim myself to be a feminist but I would fight for equality. Rant:

Spoiler

I have a very practical mind and there are things that i read and heard from the news that people that called themselves feminist fighting for are unnecessary and I wouldn't fight for. I dont want a female version of the street sign (what are they even for?!), I want chances in education, equal chances to hold positions, equal chances to a job vacancy (and not to discriminate when we're pregnant).

In my environment, the problem with discrimination comes from more of tradition, culture and people mindset. So to change that is broaden one's mind and to do that, one need to read more!
