A fun and insightful read! I've always been equally amused and angered by the way many male authors write female characters, so I knew I had to read this when I saw it was available on Netgalley. I enjoyed that this was an interactive tongue-in-cheek book rather than straight critique; while I've been trying to read more nonfiction, I still tend to get bored after a while, even if I'm interested in the subject. I didn't actually do any of the writing activities in the book since I don't have a physical copy, but I think they'd be a fun activity to do with your friends to see who can come up with the most ridiculous descriptions.

I really liked this. I love the exploration of tropes and character arcs that are in the book and how it effects women. I think it was well researched and constructed in a way that was fun and educational to read

A funny approach to how women are written in books by male authors with references to back up the story. I was entertained while reading.

A titillating tale. I had to!
This account is a good time and so is this book. I think the format is engaging and the illustrations are detailed.
