My two good friends recommended this book to me, and seeing how many celebrities praised it, I decided to give it a go. And in theory, I should have loved it. But it just wasn't for me. 
I agree with most of the ideas stated, and there are several memorable quotes that really make you think. However, the way the ideas were presented and the way the book is written just didn't resonate with me. Sometimes I felt it was a bit emtpy, and that the author was just trying to check off every feminist issue, but doesn't really reach the point, and instead just writes buzzwords. It's a bit pretentious at times, and too many mentions of religion and spirituality for my taste. It's also quite repetitive. 
At times I also felt like she was just advertising her charity, and at other times she is just talking about how amazing her life is, how much she loves her wife, and how smart and loving and intellectual her children are. 
It might be a great book for someone, and it might truly help people who are at similar stages in life or going through the same issues as she did. However, at this point in time, this book is just not for me.
