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.

For the most part I really liked it. Florence Given writes/reads/speaks so beautifully and infectiously. Half the book feels like you’re in a therapy session, full of reflection, hard truths, and self care. Some parts later on though I don’t fully agree with.  Recommend for women & queer people to give it a read, especially a listen on audiobook. It’s read by Florence.

The book is gorgeous.  Each page has its own pattern of colours and the art is so well done.  The chapters were a great starting point, and I really appreciated how the book was written.

However, I think the book would have been more impactful if I was still in my 20s. In fact, I wish this book existed when I was in my 20s. I think a lot of young women would benefit from reading this (and more than a few males.)

As a chronically online intersectional feminist this brought no real new info but it reinforced my ideas of feminism and my leftist ideals. 

I like her writing style and a lot of the book is very recognizable as a bi woman of the same age. Its a great introduction for people that are not that deep in to (intersectional) femenism yet. 

The only thing that I'm missing is when she lists marginalised groups she tends to omit disabled in the list. Maybe she focuses on it more in the full version, but sometimes every marginality is mentioned but that. I know it's the short version but it wouldn't have added a page I think.

It lacks some chapters from the original edition, which I was not aware of before purchasing, however, it does have an extra chapter the original does not have.

This book was good and definitely gave me a few thing to think about (even as someone who is fairly far into the destruction of their internalized misogynist). Language used was inclusive, and I appreciated the inclusion of diverse groups, and not cis-het white feminism. 

 “disability” is not a word, It is supposed to be “ablest” 

A view of western feminism.
