message 5: by Shirley (new)

Shirley hi Jane , I quite liked men explain things to me. A couple of the essays were really great but hasn't been my favourite book on feminism that I've read recently. I'd say Bad Feminist was a better read for me personally. But it is very short and quick to read so I would defiantly give it a try. The best essay for me was talking about marriage equality.
