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.

Really great read for feminists of all races, classes, and genders. She does a great job explaining the history of white feminism and showing how that history influences today's white feminism. She also talks about how white feminism impacts trans people, which so few feminist books do!
My only complaint is that the organization of the book was a bit muddled at one point. The early chapters were roughly chronological, and then it abruptly shifted to being organized by theme. It was still very readable. It's dense, but still engaging.

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.
