Skimming some online user reviews, I found that many's biggest issue with this book is that it's preaching to the choir, and folks, I am part of this choir, and felt this reading this book, at least at first. As I kept reading, I realized that that's the point - it is meant to preach to the choir, to (yes I'm gonna do this about a book directed to our witch choir) light a fire under us. It's unapologetic, shouty at times, ribald at others, and occasionally there's the calm eye of a storm. Ultimately, I distilled the book to this line (from the essay "Anger Is a Weapon"): "Men suppress our anger for a reason. Let's prove them right."
