Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights by Helen Lewis
5.0
This was honestly a breath of fresh air and rather invigorating.
Firstly, the layout is a great time and just makes it enjoyable and accessible to read. I think the pacing of the book was quite well done with good sign posting as you continue throughout the chapters. Although each chapter is obviously a different fight, the main theme (that I got anyways) of imperfection and the value of compromise remained strong throughout culminating to a great ending of needing more organisation and less focus on women's individual choices.
I think this book just really resonated with me and took me back to the roots of feminism and collective fights rather than personal choices women make, which does seem to be the current mainstream in feminism (perhaps because that's a nice easy distraction to avoid any real needed conversations.) Even the chapters you might think you know loads about, you end up learning a lot so a great time.
It was well written, she has a strong voice and quite funny at times. It nice to see someone not shy away from difficult people or difficult conversations that are not popular or palatable.
Yeah overall v happy with this, thx @ will for reading this or I would never have heard of it. Love goodreads, just brings me endless joy.
