inkyinsanity's review against another edition

This isn't a bad book, but it is very entrance-level feminism. I’d recommend her podcast or videos instead.

As a chronically online intersectional feminist this brought no real new info but it reinforced my ideas of feminism and my leftist ideals. 

I like her writing style and a lot of the book is very recognizable as a bi woman of the same age. Its a great introduction for people that are not that deep in to (intersectional) femenism yet. 

The only thing that I'm missing is when she lists marginalised groups she tends to omit disabled in the list. Maybe she focuses on it more in the full version, but sometimes every marginality is mentioned but that. I know it's the short version but it wouldn't have added a page I think.

This book was good and definitely gave me a few thing to think about (even as someone who is fairly far into the destruction of their internalized misogynist). Language used was inclusive, and I appreciated the inclusion of diverse groups, and not cis-het white feminism. 

 “disability” is not a word, It is supposed to be “ablest” 

A view of western feminism.

Whilst I enjoyed parts of this book, it felt at times repetitive, and honestly at points like a load of clichés thrown together as a series of sentences. Overall I was a little disappointed reading this as it never fully engaged me in its writing style.

kensuds's review against another edition

challenging informative fast-paced

I won't rate this book because it feels autobiographical on some level. Even though it's short, it's educational and intimate, and I feel like it's a good intro read to anyone who is curious about what feminism means and encompasses.

The book discusses these topics, but it does not go in-depth. It comes up frequently enough to be moderate so that's how I marked it.
