This author managed to write succinctly ideas about feminism I've been starting to have and expanded on others I hadn't really thought of. My main issue was the audiobook had terrible mixing/editing, I'm not sure which word would fit in here. The cuts between different takes were so obvious and the narrating felt like reading a newspaper.

I guess I'm more idealogically in line with the ideas of fighting against poverty and fighting for equal rights for all humans (black, brown, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, disabled) than with how this author portrays the white woman's feminist movement, so maybe I'm not the target audience for this book.

Her arguments seem obvious to me. Of course we should work toward affordable housing for all. Of course we should work toward great schools for all. Of course we should work towards equal justice for all.

I guess I didn't realize that the average feminist doesn't care about these issues, as the author seems to indicate. I equate being a feminist with caring about all progressive issues, but maybe that is naive of me?
