themorsecode's review against another edition

Great in the parts when it addresses the book's advertised point regarding a feminist reading of economic theory, but this covers only around a third of the book with more general economic criticism filling the rest. Interesting enough, if a little 101, but not what I signed up for.

This book is accessible, informative, and a challenge to the traditional economics I was more used to hearing about (though I am no means an expert in economics). Marçal does a great job of explaining theories and questioning gendered constructs and neoliberal capitalism. However, for the most part she treats "men" and "women" as homogeneous(ish) groups, which makes some of her critique fall flat. A more intersectional approach would have made this book more impactful and more realistic. Still, it's very well done for what it is and it's worth the read.

A lot of very good points and highly quotable passages.

I frequently found the writing style -- "staccato" comes to mind -- jarring and disjointed, but I think the questions Marçal explores are more important than any others we could ask ourselves as a society, especially now.

Wow, everyone should read this! It would make the world a better place, not only for a lot of women.
