This is a brilliant book. Klein’s writing is accessible, well-researched and compassionate. It was a very tough read, emotionally, for me. But one I think I’m going to want to revisit.

I regret listening to the audiobook because there were so many sections I wanted to annotate the hell out of, so I'm gonna have to reread this once I've got a physical copy.

While this is a very zeitgeisty book, I think it'll age better than others, as it serves almost as a history book mixed with memoir mixed with psychology.

Absolutely a must read! This is my first book from Klein and I immediately feel compelled to reach for her backlist. For a fairly short-ish book, this covers so much ground while also going pretty deeply into each topic, I felt it was quite comprehensive. My only complaint was that I sometimes struggled with the organization of the book, I never quite knew where it was going, though each time we got somewhere I enjoyed myself. This is a great book for understanding where we are right now and imagining where we could be, I want to throw this book at everyone I meet!
