This book isn't perfect (it weirdly never mentions capitalism despite that feeling a bit like the elephant in the room at some points) but it doesn't need to be. It's an amazing wake-up call for white women and I really think we'd make a lot more progress more quickly if we could just snap our fingers and have everyone read this. And not just read it, but really really think about how your own racism plays into this.

There are uncomfortable topics covered by this book, but they are discussed as bad things, they're not encouraged or supported in the text. E.g. there are explicit examples of cultural appropriation, but the book is pointing out why this is wrong.
