Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies) by Scarlett Curtis

Maybe I’m just a misandrist instead of a feminist but I was just not impressed with the essays included in this book. They were overall very boring. Most of the the authors came across as not caring about feminism until it benefited them and nearly every single author did not once mention anything about intersectionality. There was one particular essay which was basically telling women it was their responsibility to make sure men view women as people instead of providing ways men can educate themselves. One author also said her feminist icon is JK Rowling? Which is an insane icon to have and honestly once I read that essay I gave up on trying to like the book.

Trochu mě mrzely překlepy kterých je v knize překvapivě hodně, některé "eseje" bych za eseje úplně nepovažovala, ale některé mě potěšily, mile překvapily a inspirovaly. Taková ideální knížka která se dá číst i ke knize jiné. :))

I would recommend this book to anyone, whether they think of themselves as a feminist already or not. It's honestly, it's informative, it's entertaining... I loved hearing about the experiences of a whole range of women who I found I could relate to and who give me hope for the future of the feminist movement. I also really enjoyed the inclusivity of this book. It's about all women, not just white british or american women, like many feminist books often are. And I also learned a lot about the history of feminism and what has and is going on in the world. Please read, you won't regret it!
