This is a really good book. Highly recommend. It might make some who haven't thought deeply about gender identity and its construction, or about misogyny, bias, etc., think a little harder (challenging that way, and that is a GOOD thing). 

I really loved the book. It was full of righteous anger, and truth - but also beauty, love, allyship, and hope. I would describe this book as "fierce."
