About this deal

Now don't get me wrong, it's in no way my intention to belittle these women or invalidate the experiences they share. I think that this book is a great introduction to feminism and if you're looking to read more on that topic, it's a good place to start!

The proof is only around 60 pages so I finished it within an hour BUT in those 60 pages there is so much information on feminism and personal experiences that’s it’s easy to mistake it for a much larger book. but i do have to say that this book didn’t do enough for me personally since all it did was share a short little moment of the person.The writings were categorised into groups such as “epiphany” (discovering feminism), and I almost wish they weren’t. However, while recycling is great, there also need to be bigger, systematic changes if we are to save the planet, such as stopping companies from polluting the oceans and discrediting the "climate denial" movement. An obsolete read for anyone that knows a little about feminism, I would be pretty interested to have the review of someone belonging to the public targeted.

I loved the Education section as it provided a comprehensible account of the waves of feminism and groups that had formed and taken action throughout the years. I hope feminism can do this for me and you and the young women growing up in this climate, and for men - especially for men - who are not adept at embodying their feelings and their truth, and who need women to lead by example and give permission. This book was divided into sections to focus on certain elements of the journey of feminism: epiphany; anger; joy; poetry; action; education; and further reading. For example, feminists (and women in general) do talk to their sons about sexism - perhaps now more than ever.However, I strongly believe that the reason behind ending (for example) period poverty, should not be "because periods are magical and make us women". While there are things we can do in our individual lives to change things, it's important we recognise the bigger picture. It's easy to digest in short sittings or all at once, and the number of big names in it--Karen Gillan, Keira Knightley, and Saoirse Ronan, to name a few--is certainly an attractive feature. Tapi, dalam tulisan di buku ini, dijelaskan pula, memangnya mengapa sih kok wanita bisa sampai mendapatkan upah yang tidak sama dengan pria. However, with the exception of the above, and a couple other highlights, this book was largely a let-down.
