Everyone should read this book. It is the perfect primer for feminism. It is so well written and constructed. The layout and voice used are just right. Never condescending or preachy, it is a glowing example of feminist literature done right- meant for everyone.

Only at 10% in I was irremediably in love with this book!❤️
What a wonderful gift to humanity! Because empowering girls makes the world a much better place!
I’m buying a few and gifting them!
what makes this book so special is all the wonderful combination of history and invective activities all explained with a wonderfully down-to-earth but still elegant language.

Recommended new book in the spring 2018 issue of home/school/life magazine.

With feminism being an almost taboo word, Pitman's book offers an excellent primer for young readers who hope to learn about the complex issues women, and feminists of all walks of life, grapple with.

I love the formatting and the idea behind this book. It's a little bit hard to an adult to read because it feels like the author is talking slightly down to a person, but I don't know if teens will feel that way. I am looking into getting a copy for the teenager in my life!

: This was perfect for anyone who wants to learn about feminism. This is a great educational tool that should help young people see the importance of feminism and to take action.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC! I enjoyed so much about this book. Even though it was written for young adults, it taught me a lot about feminism. Because, as the author says, many people look at feminism as women being loud and obnoxious and demonstrating and marching all the time. I know that’s not the case now, and I can see there’s a value in what’s called feminism that I never understood. I enjoyed how the book was organized in A-Z topics, and how it gave “herstory” and then a “you try this” section with suggestions. The history was really interesting and had good sources and photos and information about women I never knew existed (shame on me!). The “you try” section was a little bit of a stretch sometimes, I felt, though some ideas would be cool, especially in a book club setting. I also thought some of them were unrealistic, and one was unsafe (yes, it is empowering to change a tire, but no, girls should not be following directions in a book to do this alone! People get crushed by automobiles all the time. I really think that one should be adjusted or taken out).
This book, though very informative and necessary for young people to read should not, in my opinion, be read alone. If I had a daughter, I would read it and discuss it with her as the book covers sex and abortion and other topics that should be discussions, not just reading material. That being said, I wish this book was around when I was younger. I wouldn’t have felt so weird thinking of myself as a feminist if I had these facts, and I would’ve loved to learn about these topics sooner. A book I feel is surfacing at the right time!

I wish I had read a book like this when I was younger. An empowering book that will appeal to many different types of readers. It is an accessible introduction to feminism with activities at the end of every chapter that is even more needed in this day and age. I will be sharing this book with my son and daughter as well as my students.
Thank you to Gayle Pitman for this important and timely book as well as APA and Netgalley for the ARC.

Feminism from A to Z is exactly what the title says. It's a book about feminism trying to help teenage girls navigate the time when puberty hits and life becomes complicated.

Each chapter covers an important topic - important for girls and women alike -, with an uplifiting approach and some tips to overcome obstacles, as well as a piece of feminist herstory.

I loved this book!!! I throughly enjoyed reading it, it felt exactly like an action-packed fictional novel, I was entirely enthralled all the way through and could barely put it down. This was filled with absolutely vital information, was very informative, educational, but also quirky and fun.
I really enjoyed the end of every chapter with the “Try this!” section, I felt that it helped me connect to the material more and made me feel apart of a revolution, the activities really contributed to my understanding, retainment, and enjoyment of the book’s contents.
I also very much enjoyed the “HERSTORY” section of every chapter, a lot of research was clearly done for this book and I learned a lot of history and about a lot of women I’d never even heard of, but whom have obviously greatly impacted the feminist movement and who should be greatly recognized far beyond a few books. I walked away from this book with greatly impactful knowledge and motivation, and I really appreciate that about it. Additionally, I also really liked that images of certain examples being used in the text were included, the content then feels a lot more real when compared to simple visualization. Everything that’s mentioned actually happened!!
This book is a brilliant educational tool and a call for action. Everybody should read this book at least once in their lives.

Wonderful book that I will be passing down to all the girl's in my family! It was set up alphabetically which helps if your looking for a certain subject. This doesn't have to be read in order. I received this free arc for an honest review.

Such a cool book! Will definitely get my sister to read it one day.

I loved the ABC style of this book and I think it is a great intro into feminism.

I really enjoyed this book a bunch, The only reason why it was not fully a 5 stars in my opinion was because I feel as though it introduced many important topics, but never fully went in depth with any of them, which is very hard to do in a short book that wants to cover 26 different topics in feminism. I really enjoyed how it was set up as an introduction of the topic, a brief history that related to it, and then an exercise to do. It was a fun way to do a feminism book without just constantly spewing out random facts that would make people bored instead of continue to read. It made the topics extremely interesting and fun
