somewhat well intentioned but too simplified for its own good. it’s focus on heterosexuality and biological sex creates an basic, underdeveloped narrative that would only enrapture new feminists while isolating/ignoring queer women. plus, with her defensive of jk rowling (disgraced author and terrible transphobe), i can’t help but think that was a decisive choice.

A fantastic read. The only thing that would have pushed it to 5 stars for me was inclusion of queer and trans women. Some of the language would have excluded these groups but not in an aggressive way

Funny and informative. Worth a reread if the author works on their transphobia. I appreciate growth if it’s available. Wasn’t aware of the transphobic statements of the author before reading the book.

A short but sweet argument on feminism. The author touches upon universal gender stereotypes and draws from her personal experience to back up her claims. A great and brief read for everyone unsure what feminism means and why they should be a feminist. Not difficult and quite elementary, a good recommendation if you want to be introduced to feminist thought. Moreover, it was interesting to read about her experiences being a woman in Nigeria, that is a dimension that brought me new insights. She also touches upon intersectionality, although not naming it as such, which is of great importance to a book such as this. I did, nevertheless, get a heteronormative vibe from the writing. In a newer edition, this could be expanded upon.
