Unladylike: A Field Guide to Smashing the Patriarchy and Claiming Your Space by Cristen Conger, Caroline Ervin

4.0

This book is a good introduction to feminism. It touches on a wide range of areas that are impacted by sexism, but as an avid fan of their podcast, I was underwhelmed by the level of depth in this book. There were a lot of times in the book that I recognized an idea they were referencing because they had done a whole podcast on it (eg. Women's empowerment through bike riding) and I was craving the level of detail they give in the podcast as opposed to the quick overview in this book. I definitely think it's worth reading, and if I had read this a year and a half ago before I started my exploration into feminism, I think I would have absolutely loved it. The authors do explicitly say this is meant for budding feminists and I think they're spot on! For me it was worth a read, but not necessarily a re-read. Though there are definitely some people I would recommend this book to!
