This is a collection of essays on feminism, from one of the most original public intellectuals writing today.
Except for the chapter on Virginia Woolf, this whole book screams "white feminism" to me.
When I chose this book I really expected more topics surrounding the title. Feminism was woven inside there, but many of the writings were somehow quite random for me, and I was a little confused when the subject changed so completely and rapidly and for so many times. Eventually this collection seemed to be a bit everywhere, even though the essays that held my attention were really good and inspiring. Being better arranged, or be read in their original context I think I would have given every text more stars than all of them combined!
