Most of her political and religious viewpoints align with my own, so I enjoyed learning about the things in her life that inspired and motivated her.
I was disappointed that the “history” of non-binary identities was told in such a euro-centric way with no references earlier than 1991.

i’ve never really read many non fiction, but this one is absolutely amazing. it’s brutally honest, it doesn’t skate over any fundamental truths of the book. it talks about women’s sexuality, promiscuity, misogyn, feminism (obviously), machoism, rebellion, age, sexual violence and torture of women, reproducitge rights and gender identity. it’s so informative but somehow keeps a witty humour to it, i highly highly recommend!!!
