When everyone is equal, we all benefit. The only way we’re ever going to improve life on Earth is by working together.
This book is broken down into sections, each of which focuses on a different way in which some people see othered. The author dogs in to each one and talk about how we can improve everyone’s lives by working together and being inclusive.
I’m so glad this book exists.
But…
A non-disabled cis-het woman was not the right person be writing the sections on disability or queerness. For example, while advocating for making the world more inclusive of disabled people, she repeatedly uses dated and/or offensive terminology.
Top marks for the ideas and the intent. But the execution (in some sections) needs improvement.
