Summary

Critic reviews

"[Narrator Robin] Miles offers a steady pace - not too slow, not too fast. Her tone is as insightful and poignant as the author's content. Both women take listeners through a historical and present-day journey that conveys the importance of embracing feminism." (AudioFile)

THE BOOK IS AMAZING but Audible is missing a proper description.

This is disrespectful to the author and readers. There’s no publishing information on the details and that could and should very well be on Audible’s description of this book, on the APP and webpage. In detail and clearly put.
Also, just wanted to reiterate that the book is excellent.

Fantastic!

The writing, the narration but most of all the content; the intelligent creative criticism of this historic analysis and elaboration of feminist philosophy is amazing.

I have learned so much, felt empowered to question and doubt historic, present internal and societal beliefs and values. A brilliant book that I have recommended quite a few times now.

Excellent book

This book gives a true understanding of feminist if you consider yourself a feminist or you are anti feminist- you should read this book for a more informed and reasoned opinion of why you stand where you do.

Educational and interesting

An accessible and balanced view on intersectionality in feminism that manages to not point the finger of blame at any group of people, but rather discusses the feminist movements of the past, the pitfalls and mistakes they may have made, the successes and changes they achieved, and the work that still needs to be done going forward. I enjoyed listening to it and felt like I really learned a lot.
