This Book Is Feminist: An Intersectional Primer for Feminists in Training by Jamia Wilson

4.0

This is such a succinct, personal, and effective introduction to feminism for teenage girls (and anyone else, for that matter!). In short, themed chapters, Wilson tackles various aspects of what it means to grow up and live as a woman, how one's identity beyond being a woman plays into the sexism one faces and what feminism needs to do to include and support those identities, and what one can do to further their own understanding of feminism and how they can apply it through activism and innovation. I particularly loved the emphasis on Black feminism and womanism, and the bright, varied illustrations really pop on the page. I do wish that some of the quotes had been better applied visually to the person who originated them; as it is, it's easy to confuse one person's illustration with another's words.
