This is a very political book dealing with intersectionality. I don't agree with everything she says, but I respect her and especially how much she updated her attitudes with the times particularly in terms of gender. She is the the exact opposite of the "Ok, Boomer". .

There’s so many important facts and information here. Reading her words on Palestine during their genocide is even more devastating. I am taking this information and using it in my daily volunteering. It helped me to understand how to relate to others and the need to align myself with the most needy. No one is free until we are all . A great book to learn so much.

Reading a book written in 2015, with speeches from 2013, while its all still relative in 2023 is a bit jarring.
