An infuriating but important book. I particularly appreciate the sections that discuss intersectionality, to truly fix the system we must address classism, racism, climate justice, poverty etc as well as the patriarchy. A must read for everyone.

To say I enjoy Laura’s books is probably the wrong word to use - I don’t enjoy any of the content of the books of course. I do however find her books very accessible and very important. Fix the System, Not the Women is quite a short, quick read but is impactful and informative. Men in particular, I implore you to read this.

Nothing in detail but In order to write this book she had to be intersectional and also discuss real life and real world experiences
