4.34 AVERAGE


A pretty necessary piece of non-fiction. Does not do an overwhelmingly good job of trying to persuade why sexism is problematic, or give a ton of positive/feel-good solutions, but it does provide a series of important objective and subjective points regarding the problems that exist due to the construction of society around a clear male bias.

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

This book has a focus on women, but more so has a focus on work. It has a definitely capitalistic view of women in regards to their ability to work, but I don’t think that the issue with society is not being equitable toward women, but toward people who are less productive. There’s not enough capitalistic critique almost halfway through, so I’m done reading it.

A great book on such an important topic. I think it is sad that this book is completely missing any mention of trans/non-binary people, and the intersectionality that this would add. However I am glad that POC‘s experiences were covered in detail and as far as I can tell very well. I knew a lot of what was covered here but still learned something and found this very interesting. Also the narration by the author was wonderful.
