A feminist is not a bad word.After today it might be my favourite word.Because really all it is is girls supporting each other and wanting to be treated like human beings in a world that always finding ways to tell they're not
I really enjoyed the middle and the end of the book but it was a bit slow at the beginning. I like how it discussed unfair dress codes women face in school and how rape and attempted rape is not taken seriously. I liked how the author tried to include intersectionality however this was very base level and wished it was touched upon more. I liked how the main character learned from her mistakes, however the protagonist Vivian is white cis and hetereo who has experience  less sexism than other characters in the book. I loved
the walkout which was very empowering and the moxie party where it was just girls
But i wished it talked more about women of colour feminism and queer feminism. Overall its a good entry level book into feminism
