Women Don't Owe You Pretty by Florence Given
3.0
Had the potential for impact in 2015 definitely, i think a younger me would have definitely needed this pep talk.
As a young adult now, the ideas are relatively tired, the advice doesn’t critic much about the government/ oppressive structures that put us here in the first place - the book is individualistic and lacks the education to aptly explain the oppressive nature of the patriarchy as a systematic abuse of women, and instead focus’ on the individual (which couldn’t be beneficial to some, just not to myself)
