As a white woman I am always on the look-out for books that will help me challenge my prejudice and internalized racism. This book was great for reflecting on my own behavior and since I finished reading I have gone back and reread many chapters. I think it's a book that I could go back to at any age and still learn something.
I deducted half a star, since I would've loved for some chapters and tropes to be discussed further e.g. the dragon-lady and china doll dichotomy and Asian Feminism in general. Though, I do understand that the author isn't Asian and might be uncomfortable discussing those thematics.
