I would first like to thank the author for letting me read an advanced copy of this book.
I will fully admit to not reading the description of the book when I first requested it from NetGalley. The subtitle is what really drew me in and I was surprised when the power I thought I was going to read about was not the power that was being discussed. This short in length read was extremely fascinating and eye opening to looking at power in a different light when it comes to marginalized populations. I especially liked the reflection questions that followed each section which allowed me to think about the text in relation to myself and my own experiences. This was definitely a good exposure piece into this topic and it has opened the door for me to learn more.

A challenging yet neccessary booklet about Power and Intersectionality. Due to me majoring in these topics at University there wasn't much new to learn for me; however I can see this being a useful and accessible book for high schoolers and newbies.

A clear, accessible, and beautifully illustrated guide that explores and reflects on power and who has it and doesn't have it (and how to tap into and reclaim power).
It is a quick and informative read with suggestions for additional reading and space to jot down your reflections on the complex questions posed throughout.

I've read Roxane Gay before and love her essays so reading this was great and I loved that I was introduced into Megan Pillow too. The two of them work together to write an amazing book

"Do the Work" deals with the complexities of power and relationships, and how these shape our lives and the world we live in. It is a great guide for understanding how to empower the people around us by understanding who holds power and how it works. I will use this as a resource to return to again and again. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. #DoTheWork
