This was fascinating; but it was also one of those books which was so "philosophical" in its writing style that I felt sometimes Riley's points were overshadowed in the midst of her rolling prose and unusual wording. As I read this a while ago, I admittedly can't remember much distinctly. However, there was definitely the feeling that Riley was having some sort of tangible crisis by the end about how to 'resolve' feminism, and I remember leaving the last chapter feeling very inspired, as she seemed to emerge from this stress with a fresh-feeling perspective.
