- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A collection of essays from women in fields as diverse as acting, journalism, activism, and academia discussing what feminism means to them. The collection works hard to be intersectional and has both British and American perspectives included (although maybe slightly more weighted to the British end) and as with any collection there are hits and misses throughout. My biggest quandary while reading was determining who this collection is for. The introduction (and my library's classification which reflects a larger publisher classification) seems to mark the book as being for teens and college-aged women. However, the vast majority of essays in this collection are of interest to feminists of all ages and there are several essays that I would argue aren't going to be as resonant for teens at all. For example, I adored Helen Fielding's revival of Bridget Jones to rant about feminism but I'm not sure how enjoyable the read would be for teens who weren't even alive when the first Bridget Jones book was published. That aside, this is a smart, inspiring, and challenging collection of essays and I encourage you to pick it up if even only one of the contributors names intrigues you.
