I wish every white American woman would read this, *especially* part two, because it so succinctly breaks down the natural-birth-to-alt-right pipeline I have been yelling about for almost a decade now as a birth worker. It’s not the primary focus of the book, but it’s extremely relevant in an era of pseudoscience and woo that can be so very, very dangerous taken to its natural conclusions and which goes so widely unexamined in leftist circles. 

I don’t read nonfiction very often, but this was very well done and engaging. I’m glad I made the time for it.

I'm still calculating the stars, but as of right now it's around 4 stars.

This book is basically a follow up on "american swastika", and the notes are a decent reading list (although the citing of Dworkin & Rich in those concern me & I'll need to review it).

This was a hard book to read, but it was important to understand how women are core and help grow hate movements. It's also good to know about how these people recruit to hate groups and make these things appealing even when it's not really a socially accepted position to have.

Great book that offered both stories from a few women at varying stages of white nationalism in the twenty teens and historical context. She doesn't shy away from self reflection, but makes it about the women and not white guilt. Also I like that she provided actual follow up. Some NF writers kinda shrug at the end of the book and though this one will not leave you feeling good you don't feel all the way hopeless. She does this without disillusionment that these actions will make white nationalism go away.

Only issues is I wish there was a TW on language in audiobook form, but then again maybe some white women need to hear it so *shrugs*. I know I should have expected it but damn. Another thing is I prefer that chapters were names so I can reference it later. Both issues didn't warrant a less than 4.75 stars though.
