Feminist AF

I felt like this was such an open and honest guide to girls to just be themselves! If you want to rally and holler and be loud or if you want to be a feminist in more quiet ways you can be both. You can make a difference either way. I liked this guide and I think anyone can find good advice within. I'm excited to see the artwork in the final version too.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

really needed this book atm. most of the other feminist books i have read only acknowledged cisgender women. this book acknowledged trans women, non binary folks, disabled people, women of color, queer people, etc. it was truly inspiring

This feels like the type of book that could go alongside "The Care and Keeping of You" as an important title every young girl and woman should read. There are sections which would be most applicable and useful for young Black and Brown women, such as how to navigate colorism, but it covers a large variety of feminist topics through an intersectional lens that everyone could benefit from reading. There are sections discussing struggles with family and friends, navigating sexuality and gender, confidence, and more. I appreciated the continued use of inclusive and nonjudgmental language and how it encourages readers to explore and set boundaries for themselves. In my experience, a lot of the feminist topics are things I and my friends first encountered in college but could have benefited from learning sooner. Overall, it is an engaging, entertaining, and informative read that I wish I'd had when I was younger.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of Feminist AF in exchange for an honest review.

This was so well done! The narration is really engaging and approachable for a teenage audience and does a really good job hyping up the reader about feminist issues and embracing all facets of themselves. This is wonderfully intersectional and makes sure all types of girls are represented and included.

This book is so outstanding, I need it on my bookshelf! It is such an inclusive read, is empowering for young readers, and the best part is that it gives the reader the language to advocate for themselves and others. This book should be in every middle and high school classroom.

I loved this, and I can't wait to make it available to students. It provides meaningful guidance around the most pressing issues that young women of all backgrounds (especially girls of color) face. I was personally moved to see that the authors address disabled young girls AND chronically ill girls, as opposed to lumping us together.

I loved this book and will definitely be recommending it to my high school students when it comes out. I thought that it tackled a lot of very real and relevant topics with a fresh voice and I could see my girls especially really loving it. I loved the real stories and perspectives it gave as well as the extra resources it recommended if someone wanted to explore further.

I would definitely include this book on my classroom bookshelf as a resource. I think a lot of young girls want to do something to change the world they live in, but they may not know where to start. Feminist AF is a book that will guide them and help them channel their concerns and passions. I think the feisty title will draw young people in as well.
