I really loved all of the history content in this book. It’s really important to see the full picture of the suffragettes. A group of women who are praised in history, yet they have purposefully excluded and consciously did not support non-white women.
I also loved the connection between capitalism and white feminism. A really important and accurate lens to understanding modern white feminism.
The middle bits were really dense, and at some points in the audiobook the narration was extremely stilted, so much so that it was distracting.

Sono un po' divisa su come valutare l'opera.
Se infatti, da una parte, la tesi, le argomentazioni e le informazioni che l'autrice ci presenta sono estremamente interessanti e illuminanti, per quanto scoraggianti e difficili da digerire, al contempo la struttura dell'opera non mi ha convinto. Essa tende, infatti, a essere meno coesa di quanto avrei desiderato e in aggiunta a ciò, il finale non mi è sembrato adatto.
