"I want patriarchy to know that feminism is rage unleashed against its centuries of crimes against women and girls around the world, crimes that are justified by “culture” and “tradition” and “it’s just the way things are,” all of which are euphemisms for “this world is run by men for the benefit of men.”
I think this is probably my favourite feminist read ever. Mona Eltahawy incorporates her own experiences, and how she has used 'The Seven Necessary Sins' in her own feminism. It's a really empowering and enlightening read that i'd recommend to women and girls of all ages.
