feathersmcgraw's review against another edition
4.5
Many of the reviews mention that the book was a tough read
Sure, the tone is academic, but I didn't find it to be hard to access. If anything, I think Manne's delivery became less and less obtuse as the book went on. Cross-chapter references ("In chapter 6, I will..." etc) become few and far between.
Really, the only reason this didn't get 5 stars is that Manne's commentary on the election didn't work for me. Whilst there was undoubtedly a large amount of misogny involved, there are some pretty compelling arguements out there viewing it through the lens of class and/or race. Manne, to her credit admits her perspective limitations early on. However, if you're going to contend that Clinton lost because she was a woman, then you really need to expand the scope of the discussion.
