Who Runs the World?, by Virginia Bergin

1.0

Honestly I thought this book was going to be so good. The premise was promising and really intriguing, I thought I was going to read a piece of good feminist book that was thought provoking and inspiring. But it wasn’t. The writing style grated on me, the story was confusing (and honestly lacked a proper storyline). The book was riddled with sexist stereotypes which made me so uncomfortable, the chapter titles were ridiculously cringeworthy and there was definitely LGBT erasure. In a world where women and men are separated there is a significant lack of transgender people, there is a mention of transmen but no transwomen, and it is very unexplained and honestly so brushed aside it seemed like the whole premise of the book underlines an opinion that transmen aren’t real men.
