laurenreadsagain's review against another edition

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

felt that this book was definitely a good intro into feminist literature 
i was compelled to put sticky notes and underline several passages in the book and solnit seemed to draw broad connections that i had never considered
that being said, i do think that the book could be FAR more intersectional and also seeming strayed from the point of the book occasionally 
overall, well-written and a good jumping point!
