[Kelsey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whenever I need an article on anything feminism related (which is quite often) I turn to this book. It has a variety of entries on a even larger variety of topics, so it is a go-to for me. It is one that I lend to a lot of people for classes or even just some personal education.
