As I figured, this is best for young feminists seeing as there are different sections with advice that adults don’t typically need. Besides those sections though this is incredible solid for all ages. There’s content warnings before sensitive topics are covered in a chapter. There’s a good mix of facts, personal experiences, and jokes. These women are hilarious. The audiobook is absolutely incredible and I highly recommend this.

I’m not the right age for this book, however if you are a teen, definitely check this out. I still got some helpful info out of it though and the art is amazing.

THIS is what I needed as a young girl. I really encourage young girls, parents or future parents of girls, and any teacher that works in middle/high school to read this book. I would even that parents read it with their daughters for them to have shared language for their dialogue.
The book touches on all of the heavy topics of feminism and womanism while also making it digestible for anyone who is new to this conversation. I also loved how one of the authors expressed her journey to feminism through Black eyes.

From page 1, this book is radically inclusive and intersectional. The authors make it clear that it’s a book for all girls, feminists, and not-yet-feminists. In the legacy of Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist, the authors assure the (presumably young) reader that this isn’t a book for experts, it’s here to help you be a better feminist.
The authors write in an easy, conversational style that sounds natural (not like they’re trying to be hip or cool to teens) but also adequately expresses the inherent emotions in the issues. The book is so quotable that I have the urge to send every other sentence to my girlfriends group chat with the praise hands emoji.
As a straight, white, cis-gender, able-bodied, middle class woman, I have never faced intersectional -isms the way that so many women do. While I am passionate about amplifying their voices and experiences, I still have a real knowledge gap in what those experiences look like in different women’s lives. I am grateful to the Crunk Feminist Collective for giving me a bit of insight into what I have missed.
