finished this book in one sitting & highlighted something super groundbreaking on almost every page - should be required reading for any woman, whether they have ‘daddy issues’ or not

This book read mostly as a textbook, which is totally fine!!! Short and informative - here are some of the quotes that I enjoyed:

(From Solanas) “fatherhood is the ‘male’s major opportunity to control and manipulate’”

“It is when men feel humiliated that they are most capable of violence”

Biggest takeaway? Men are terrifying

Daddy Issues is a short non-fiction read about the patriarchy, misogyny and the psychology between men and their daughters in Hollywood, politics, pop culture and our homes. Katherine Angel dissects many historical feminist works to invoke the question: how much has really changed?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it was definitely thought-provoking. A lot of societal norms and concepts are picked apart including purity culture, protective fathers and a father’s jealousy of their daughter’s partners. I would absolutely recommend this to fellow feminists, or non-fiction readers who are open to being questioned. I can already think of 3 friends I will lend this book to when I own a copy!

Wasn’t that insightful.
