challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

Definitely a book that everyone should be reading. A bit dense and hard to read (in part due to the weight of the subject) at times, but jam packed with thought provoking questions that will genuinely make you ponder the state of “Post Me-Too” feminism.

Took me way to long to finish it. I enjoyed the first half of the book, but then found myself starting and finishing as I never gravitated to finish this. Happy I did though! It was a very informative and interesting read. Definitely wish I has read it back when I was writing my dissertation, it would be really good as a reference!
