Women Don't Owe You Pretty by Florence Given

challenging inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

»Until we have fully rinsed out the conditioning that women need to shrink themselves around men to accommodate their 'masculinity' and take up as little space as possible, we will forever be compromising our multifaceted selves for the sake of their egos«

The book is marketed as "an accessible leap into feminism" and this is exactly what you get. It covers a wide range of topics that are discussed in simple language, making them easy to understand. The designs throughout the book were a great addition, too.

Though it provides a good starting point, it didn't add anything new to me personally. It lacked depth in some parts and was too repetitive in others. 

Nevertheless, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get into feminism and doesn't know where to start. I know my past self would have benefited from this book were it available to me a few years ago!
