The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness by Jill Filipovic

5.0

Jill Filipovic is an incredible writer, and I was excited to find out she had another book after I finished her newer book OK Boomer, Let’s Talk. There are so many issues the women deal with that men don’t have to, but it’s still ignored or denied by many. In this book, Filipovic takes a deep dive in each chapter of how women face biases, challenges, and even potential dangers in a variety of different situations. The overall topic of the book is (as the subtitle suggests) the female pursuit of happiness, but it’s difficult in many different areas that the author covers in various chapters. The chapters dive into friendships, relationships, careers, female bodies, motherhood, and so much more. Aside from providing a ton of data and research, Jill opened my eyes to many topics that I hadn’t even thought of, and it has me asking, “Yeah. Why is this the norm?”.

Jill Filipovic is now 2 for 2 with great books she’s written, and she’s also a phenomenal journalist who is passionate about many social issues. I’m extremely glad I came across her work and am always excited to read just about anything she writes.
