This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism by Ashton Applewhite

emotional funny hopeful informative medium-paced

4.0

Really good and illuminating overall. I felt that the author did too much comparing between ageism and other forms of oppression, as opposed to showing how they're rooted in similar beliefs, which I would have preferred.
