This Book Is Feminist: An Intersectional Primer for Feminists in Training by Jamia Wilson
4.0
*A copy of this book was given by Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
This Book is Feminist is a well-rounded book on feminism that covers many aspects from intersectionality, misconceptions and stereotypes, economic injustice and more. It encourages readers to explore their own feminism - our relationship with feminism, experiences, and learn to listen to others with curiosity instead of judgement.
It contains a lot of self-reflection questions from the author that aims to help understand the way we think and react, and actionable changes we can do.
I like how it was accompanied by great illustrations, which enhances the experiences of reading, especially with pull quotes that highlight important lines.
It is important to note that this isn't a very easy book to read, hence it's "couldn't put it down"-ness is low. You'll need frequent breaks and time to reflect.
