Brilliant
Fascinating, thorough, critical, articulate, intelligent. This book really opened my eyes and changed the way I thought about issues surrounding feminism and the relationships between women, men and other women in Western society. It was reassuring and empowering.
I have and would recommend this book to everyone who thinks they may be interested. by Nicole Shuttleworth
