This is a hard book for me to rate in stars to be honest. I read it over a number of months in sections so it seems quite disjointed to me, something that makes it difficult to collectively review. It is undeniable that this book was essential and needed when it was first published, and just as needed today. To read something so foundational In intersectional feminism also had a kind of surrealism to it. It seems just so so big. And so I took my time. It was beautiful, poetical, full of prose and wonderful images. The cover was striking. I will definitely hold a space always for this somewhere in my mind, and somewhere in my heart I think so too. But I still don’t know how I will ‘rate this.’ It seems to large to subdue to simple numbers. But I’ll give it a try.
