Most of the reviews that I heard about this book weren’t all good, they all usually pointed out that it was very basic. But now that I know that this was only a transcript of a speech she delivered, I kind of really like the format of this one. I hear her speak in every line of this book and this is actually a good start to understanding the need for feminism.

Claro y concreto. Lo vi como una introducción e invitación a seguir explorando lo que es el feminismo.
oxnard_montalvo's review against another edition
I began this year arguing about the term 'feminism' with some family - an aunt and a male cousin. Both of them were very much for equal rights and the rights of women in terms of reproductive rights, legal protection, cultural roles... All the usual. They were both, by all accounts, feminists, although they both vehemently denied identifying as such. Which made me wonder if our perception of the word has changed or has it actually changed meaning? Does feminism now equal something other than what it initially started out as? I can't say I agree with the idea that you can work towards women's rights without being a feminist; I don't like the fact it has become a dirty, embarrassing word.
It seems right that I should end the year where I began. I'm still shocked that there are still these attitudes of keeping women in their place, that an entire gender is percieved as being inferior. This is a well written, even little book. It covers a lot of ground despite the brevity. Big ideas and a good reminder that there is still a great deal of work to be done.

The author does not point fingers in this book. She examines and breaks down the problematic aspects society enforces on our genders. She brings forth an “ugly” word, “feminist”, and makes you think of the restraints we use to saddle our future generations. Working on changing will always be work it.
