bxtskr's review against another edition

informative sad fast-paced

3.75

With a very rare exceptions (notably the parts regarding covid) this book doesn't say anything that hasn't been said by radical Black feminists and health advocates for decades but then comes to extremely liberal, half-assed solutions. I've never so much agreed with the premise and hated a conclusion in this field. Also an unnecessary amount of praise for Pres. Biden's work on VAWA without mentioning the accusations of violence against him!
