i’ve never really read many non fiction, but this one is absolutely amazing. it’s brutally honest, it doesn’t skate over any fundamental truths of the book. it talks about women’s sexuality, promiscuity, misogyn, feminism (obviously), machoism, rebellion, age, sexual violence and torture of women, reproducitge rights and gender identity. it’s so informative but somehow keeps a witty humour to it, i highly highly recommend!!!
Graphic: Abortion and Misogyny
Moderate: Murder, Physical abuse, Grief, Slavery, Sexism, Violence, Torture, Religious bigotry, Police brutality, Sexual violence, Pregnancy, Infidelity, Trafficking, Rape, Child death, Sexual harassment, Pandemic/Epidemic, and Incest

Reading this felt like talking to a very cool, progressive grandmother: winding and rambling and not always aligned with how I see the world, but ultimately full of beautiful insight. I think this is a book I’ll want to revisit when I’m older, too.
