Concise and insightful text shedding light on what so many women experience, why it matters, and what our response should be.

CW: this book primarily addresses gender as a binary, and uses sex and gender interchangeably

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.
