Solid introduction to feminist ideas. Didn't learn anything new but I think if I'd read this when I was younger, I would have found it very accessible and eye opening. Like the colours and illustrations, but wish some of the ideas or anecdotes were more in depth or analysed further.

***may contain spoilers of content***

In general I really like the book. I specifically loved the highlight of the privilege because I think we tend to overlook these pretty easily! There are only one or two point that I don't agree with the author, e.g. if you have trauma, you shouldn't enter into a relationship.

Fantastic book! Had me doing a lot of self reflection, and I really enjoyed a lot of the anecdotes. I think this is an important read for everyone, no matter their identity/gender/orientation. It was eye opening in a lot of ways, and a very enjoyable read!
