Excellent. Planning to buy a physical copy so I can annotate and use as a reference. Loved the historical and globally-inclusive references as well as modern examples of what the author describes as white feminism. As I black woman I felt represented. Zakaria also shares her story authentically.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Racism, Sexual violence, and Xenophobia
Great for anti-racism/social Justice book clubs.

A+ work. Incredibly informative - I highly recommend for people who are learning more about unmasking their autistic selves, but May I also suggest: if you love an Autistic person or are close with one, (or have autistic employees or students) this could be an informative read for you too.
Content Warnings
Minor: Ableism, Drug use, Eating disorder, Mental illness, and Forced institutionalization

It was good, the pace kept me reading but the end felt rushed. Overall, it entertained me for a few days.
