readandfindout's review against another edition
fast-paced
On first read in 2019: 4.5 stars. This is an excellent introductory text on feminism. My only real drawback is that I found some of the language used to be trans-exclusive (as femaleness is referred to frequently, more so than femme identity).
2024 reread overall rating: Leaving unrated. I appreciated the perspective provided specifically from Adichie's Nigerian heritage and culture. It's hard for me to look past the lack of intersectionality now though, particularly regarding the the very binary way gender is discussed.
