As someone who's pretty open to wondering the why's of + challenging many of the 'dominant' orders in modern societies this helped sharpen into focus some topics that I hadn't considered in as much depth before and helped challenge some of my preconceptions also.
I did wish some of the essays from the main author were honed down a bit, but it was still written engagingly enough to pass through the occasional parts that felt repetitive.
The prompts for discussion were a great addition and for some of the essays I wished that had been expanded upon. These parts felt more useful than any of the stats; because a lot of the conversations around these topics are likely be driven by emotion and questioning the roots of thought (or lack of) behind it is more likely to open someone's mind than firing numbers at them.
Overall recommend and will refer back to.

This was absolutely brilliant, bringing together voices from a variety of backgrounds and areas of activism to create tangible drivers to disrupt non-inclusive discussions. I listened to this on audio but have already ordered a physical copy to scribble all over.
One of the best books on feminism and activism more broadly that I’ve read in years! This is how intersectional, progressive feminism should look like. Besides one dodgy comment about feminism being all about choice which I think is reductive (we should respect choices but also challenge the reasons they’re made and encouraged), this was a really grounded, mature, and thoughtful book about the feminist struggle as it stands in 2024, and I learned a LOT!

Even if you think you’re woke, I’d recommend reading this book and checking yourself.
Often I’ve found that with multiple writers in a book, it becomes homogenous but every one had a distinct voice and POV.
Strongly recommend!
