I saw this one at the library and while I am still unsure about holding the label Feminist (because of how far some go... and I don't want to be part of that), I was curious about the book. I learned about new feminist icons, there were great quotes and lovely illustrations (because I can't colour them in, this is a library book so I will call them illustrations). It was all quite positive and affirming.
But at times I also felt like a bad woman (or feminist), I mean that quiz in the middle? I knew nothing, well, maybe I would have known one or two but I kind of gave up after 5 questions and not directly knowing the answers. Plus, I felt like you all had to know these people/events that were mentioned.
