I am a feminist. I believe equality between the sexes. I also know, as stated in the book, that feminism has a “PR problem.” I believe everyone should read a book like this to further understand the true meaning behind the word and deep problems within our society.⁣

Carol Hay uses her more than 20 years of experience in teaching and writing about feminism to cover topics such as oppression of women, gender roles, sexual violence against women, as well as broad connections between sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia.⁣

It is a widely known truth that women are disadvantaged relative to men, but rarely accepted as something that should be changed or acted upon. I think a book like this could change that mindset. ⁣
⁣
Especially in the world where major political candidates have been credibly accused of sexual harassment and assault, I think this is an important book for everyone to read and further understand treatments, experiences, and underlying oppression of women.⁣
