One of the finest books on Feminism. No. It doesn't preach but pricks your mind with the riveting incidents and experiences of women from all walks of life sharing their life turning moments. The book is divided into 5 chapters and each chapter is hard-hitting. We read about sexual abuse, LGBTQ issues faced child abuse, sociopath partners, discrimination, racism, gender bias etc.

Read this book. Give this book. I honestly wish we could create a "required reading list" for humanity. The fact that this book exists makes me so happy and a little hopeful. It is such an amazing jumping off point for someone just accepting their feminism, but it's also so important for those of us who have maybe grown a bit jaded with ours. I'll stop gushing now. Just read this. Please.

[The Future is Female] It's a bad sign when the German translation is given a title in English that is nothing like the original title. However, I kept trying for 100 pages. After all, in an anthology it is quite possible that the first article is really bad, but the rest are good. Even the first two or even three? And I will admit, they haven't all been as ghastly as those first few, but they aren't really good, either. I give up.

I liked the idea of this book but for me personally there were too many essays.
After some time it felt kind of flat to me and I think it would have been better if there were just a handful of personal stories than like 70.
