esbonfield's review against another edition
informative
inspiring
slow-paced
2.0
I don't disagree with any of the points made in this book. Some are very basic principles and theories that I think most fem lit readers would be largely familiar with. Think it would have benefitted from speaking more about Given's personal experience growing up - these were the most gripping parts. Commenting on issues not affecting Given felt false... like why would I read a white girls book about what it's like to live as a black women?
