challenging emotional informative slow-paced

4.5

A great collection of essays on Being (Perceived As) A Woman Under Patriarchy and all the fucky wucky stuff that comes along with that. A little more binary than what I usually prefer, but Febos' level of nuance makes up for the generalizations. The tagline on my copy of the book suggests that it's a good read for women of all kinds - mothers, daughters, sisters - but I think men would benefit a lot by reading it as well.

dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

This was an incredibly power reflection on girlhood, femininity, patriarchal power, consent culture, and so much more. It provides an amazing perspective. I’ll probably read it again. Love love love.
