Incredible set of insightful essays on issues that yt / mainstream feminism fails to address, including her own personal examples and a very informative and flowing prose. 10/10

I found this rather disappointing. I'm sure you'll find better reviews from those who are more versed in feminist literature and more eloquently spoken, that explain better why (I) found this lacking. Firstly, this is most definitely not the groundbreaking book I had expected when it comes to intersectional feminism but I also don't think it was terrible by any means.
Lets talk about the science side first. There is very little evidence used in the text of this book, I am not saying the author didn't know her shit, just that she did not reference it well. There is a fair amount of anecdotal evidence used, which is frustrating to read even if you agree with the background statement. I have read a decent amount of feminist lit and know that there is statistical evidence that can support her claims.
I also agree with other reviewers who found a chunk of the books topics to be more human rights issues not necessarily feminist issues.
And lastly, this book needed a bit more from the editor as I found myself zoning out a bit.

This book was an excellent and comprehensive take on the whiteness of feminism.
