emotional informative medium-paced

3.0

While her stats are bad and she should feel bad (not to mention her ongoing descent into anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist), Wolf’s first book is still a great introductory read for a new feminist. It’s a good stepping point for reflecting on and reframing one’s own relationship to performing gender and engaging with a capitalist, patriarchal society that treats bodies as a commodity.
