Feminists Don't Wear Pink and Other Lies: Amazing Women on What the F-Word Means to Them by Scarlett Curtis
4.0
I love the concept of this book. Rather than trying to definitively give a meaning for for feminism, it instead shares a variety of reflections, ideas and personal experiences showing how different women from different backgrounds have experienced feminism and what it means to them. You don't have to agree with everything you read in this book - it actively encourages you to consider how other women see things, and celebrates the diversity of thought that results.
My only personal complaint would be that a few of the contributions felt more like an advert for a given project/charity. However, for these women those projects are a huge part of how they have experienced feminism so perhaps that's fair enough, besides which these projects do incredibly important work and this book might introduce them to someone who needs them!
