Claiming the F Word in turbulent times… This was one of the best Early Review books I’ve received in the last 10 years. I loved it. Before I read this book, I never considered myself a feminist. Women and men become feminists for different reasons. Equality. Stoping Rape. Stoping Sex Slavery. Stoping violence against women. Changing gender norms. And for any of those reasons you can call yourself a feminist. You can be female or male or nonbinary… any religion… any race… any economic background… anybody. I loved the book and bought two extra copies after I received my free one. I think this is nice for teenagers and adults.

This is a good introduction to one brand of feminism, and hopefully it will encourage readers, especially teenagers, to explore the many different points of view of feminism and explore what feminism means in countries around the world.

Informative and an excellent read. I passed my copy on to several people who found the book a great teaching tool for their daughters. Well worth reading and sharing. ( )

Topics to consider: rape, sex, and abortion.

One out of every four North American women will be sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. 17 percent of girls under the age of 16 experience incest. 57 percent of Indigenous women are sexually assaulted. Only six out of every 100 sexual assault cases actually gets reported to police. This book is such an eye-opener.

I recommend this book wholeheartedly to any gender who wants to learn more about the world around them! It covers so many topics from body image to domestic violence to race to education to harassment to teaching young men to express emotions! I was so impressed by how well-researched and organized Polak’s book is.

Not only does this book talk about tough subjects, but it also breaks down myths and tells histories of women that made great impacts. I was shocked that I hadn’t heard some of their stories before! The photos are very impressive and contribute greatly to the overall messages. Having extra resources and a glossary of terms in the back also makes this an excellent teaching tool.

If you would like to learn more about sexism, society standards that affect women’s self-image, intersectionality, world-wide movements, and so much more – read this book!! Not only is it interesting to read, but you will also learn some things you never may have heard of before!

~I was sent a free ARC copy of this book for an honest review~ ( )

Well, I totally forgot I had read this one until now! But I super loved it. Very clear, very direct, and made an effort to include women of color and their efforts to promote inclusion, as well as why those efforts were often rebuffed.

I did end up buying a copy of the finished product. ( )
