This book was both engaging and informative. The author delved deep into the historical and societal issues that have plagued women, people of colour, and immigrants over the course of the past nine centuries. Though the content contained within is deeply disturbing, I found myself captivated by the author's ability to convey such complex issues in a relatable and accessible manner.
However, while I found the book to be an excellent read overall, I must admit that there were times when I felt that it became somewhat repetitive. While the length of the book itself did not deter me, I feel that if it were more streamlined, it could have been even more impactful. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the historical and societal factors that have contributed to the marginalisation of women throughout history.
