This Book Is Feminist: An Intersectional Primer for Feminists in Training by Jamia Wilson
4.0
I really enjoyed this book! I thought it was extremely informational, while still keeping the reader engaged with the fun and bright colors and illustrations.
I docked one star from my review because I feel like the author fell into the trap of grouping all non-binary individuals together. While I appreciated the inclusion, this falls into the assumption that all non-binary people are afab (assigned female at birth), when this is simply untrue. Terms like Misogyny-Affected, or MA, may have been better. The author clearly had good intentions, but the perpetuation of that stereotype bothered me.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to all feminists, whether they already consider themselves well-read and informed or not!
