although i agreed with 95% of this book (and don’t doubt hooks’s experience in the midst of the movement), i assumed this would be more comprehensive; however, it focuses exclusively on american feminism from the 1960s onward. it also relied heavily on vague statements rather than specific, statistical/tangible evidence or testimony of women. it’s okay but not a good starting place for feminist thought.

there’s nothing with which i particularly disagree, but i would love more concrete examples. for instance, i do not think it is incorrect to assert that women face unattainable beauty standards due to narrow representations of femininity in media—but i wish there was cited a specific popular commercial, statistics of young girls with eating disorders, or the economics of a makeup industry to prove her points.
