Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books for an advanced electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
In this beautifully illustrated book, the author explores the points where gender, race, class, ability, sexuality, and culture meet. Throughout the book, readers are asked to respond to calls to action and form their own views on feminism. Written in a way that all can understand, this book is for everyone, and can be a great tool for discussing feminism with students.
When I saw this book on NetGalley, I couldn't request it fast enough! I purchased a copy of "This Book is Antiracist" almost a year ago, and this book is just as promising. This book will be a great resource for my middle school classroom, and I can't wait to buy a physical copy to share with my students! Pick this up!

Thank you netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for a review
This is a good introduction to feminism, especially for teenagers. It's well written and easy to understand. The book focuses a lot on the intersection of oppressions : sexism, racism, lesbophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc. I really liked this aspect, because it's important to underline that not everyone's life is the same, and sexism can be experienced in different ways.
This book is written for teens, but I think that adults who want to understand feminism could use it as a good introduction.

I really enjoyed this book! I thought it was extremely informational, while still keeping the reader engaged with the fun and bright colors and illustrations.
I docked one star from my review because I feel like the author fell into the trap of grouping all non-binary individuals together. While I appreciated the inclusion, this falls into the assumption that all non-binary people are afab (assigned female at birth), when this is simply untrue. Terms like Misogyny-Affected, or MA, may have been better. The author clearly had good intentions, but the perpetuation of that stereotype bothered me.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to all feminists, whether they already consider themselves well-read and informed or not!
