kinda white feminist-y. a lot of attention for transphobic feminists without acknowledging their transphobia. same for racist feminists..

This had so much potential, but failed miserably. The graphics are boring and seemingly thrown in in a last ditch attempt. The cover looks great, but that's not the art in the book itself. The information provided, is just fact after fact after fact. I think this book had the chance of taking feminism and its ideology into something that's more accessible and easier to digest for the general audience. Instead it was just dry fact listing youd read in any other book.

Was often very dry, and most of the illustrations were so-so. I also felt that it presented some ideas uncritically that could have really used a more critical lens. Was disappointed it didn’t call out TERFs or SWERFs specifically. Also the framing of the Black feminism stuff was... questionable, if not outright revisionist.

I found the graphic element of this book really lackluster, it added nothing and the illustrated cover was very misleading.
I understand what the authors tried to do but they went way too big on this approach. Focusing on excessively on historical forms of feminism isn’t really helpful for understanding the movement today, and just continues to amplify voices there were incredibly problematic and myopic in their view of “equality”.
