I really enjoyed this one! Crispin has a straightforward, direct style that's really appealing compared to most writers on the subject, and she maps out a leftist approach to feminism that doesn't require you to know anything else about leftist theory. Granted, you could totally write a follow-up that marries this to left concerns and thought, but the style works for this book as a way to get people started on thinking about what a more substantive feminism would look like. And frankly, it's a welcome antidote to the kind of defanged, lean-in feminism that is ubiquitous and corporate-approved today.

Practicing feminism is hard work—and should be hard work, lest we stop challenging ourselves to do better. The kind of comprehensive, solidarity-driven feminism that Crispin lays out should be our lodestar, even if we invariably falter in the day-to-day striving towards it.
