Unladylike: A Field Guide to Smashing the Patriarchy and Claiming Your Space by Cristen Conger, Caroline Ervin
3.0
This book is a step, a start towards reading more feminist fiction for me.
In the beginning, it explains how the patriarchy has oppressed women.
It summarizes an outstanding woman and her protests and accomplishments, and then explains what you can do to help in a protest, or how to argue your cause.
It points out that we can only achieve change by being inclusive with women of other races, nationalities and sexualities and not starting divides within the female group.
One con was that all the studies it offered were for America, so it didn’t concern me, but everything else was pretty much universal.
Lastly, I loved the drawings throughout this book.
