Them: Adventures with Extremists by Jon Ronson

adventurous challenging dark funny informative slow-paced

3.0

Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

informative medium-paced

4.5

Kendall covered a wide selection of topics relating to feminism for all and calls out yt feminism in a satisfying manner. I do wish the essays were more in depth, though this is my main complaint for all non-fiction essay collections. I'll definitely pick up another book she writes. The topics were broad so this should be essential feminist reading (before going into more specific books)
