The photos are a great addition and adds to the understanding of where society and culture existed in terms of beliefs at the time. The font changes can be a little wonky, even though it keeps your interest. Overall, it is an easy to digest intro to gender studies.

Pretty interesting read that offered me an opposing perspective to my own, and gave some interesting points. My main critique would be that the book claims to be an unbiased and factual book of discourse, but the writer's own opinions and biases were more than apparent from the start of the book.

It's an introductory book, and can introduce you to new things if you know extremely little.
Every topic is handled really superficially. It is an introduction to the topic but it gets kinda ridiculous at some points. It concludes certain things without even really mentioning them or defending against any scrutiny.
It also missed very obvious things, for example it's a bit ridiculous to only spend like a page discussing second vs first wave feminism in a book about gender, gender activism & such.
I also didn't like that it used isnotreali soldiers in it's example of women in the military. Contributing to pinkwashing the colony power currently commiting a genocide.
It has a lot of pictures and varying text sizes. It can be cool if you like that sort of thing.

Really enjoyed the structure of this book, the style of these books is really cool and an interesting way to consume books. I loved how rather than starting from the ‘transgender issue’ as it’s referred started from the ‘gender issue’ found this a really thought provoking perspective.

very interesting and insightful read for gender and sexuality (meskipun aku masih gak mudeng dan harus baca berulang kali)
