This was very interesting and informative. I loved that it wasn’t all the same topics that other feminism book talks about. For example housing. Like I don’t know if it’s just the books I’m reading but it was mostly topics not discussed which is good but also sad because people need to bring to light these topics every more.

(I listened to the audiobook version.)
There wery many observations, ideas, and suggestions in this book that I found helpful for my own mindset, even when they might not have been completely new to me. It is important to note that this book does require you to be familiar with feminism, otherwise it is not as accessible. This is due to the fact that Kendall directs her words mainly to white mainstream feminists. I think anyone who considers themself a feminist should look into the ideas of this work and reflect upon them.
