This was a great book。 I saw the author at a Bookfest panel this morning， and was so impressed by her that I immediately went to request her book after hearing her talk about it。 This book was well written and nicely illustrated。 It made me think， taught me some new information， and was a joy to read。 I would absolutely recommend it。 4。5 stars。 *I received a free copy through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review。*

As with her other writings Ms。 Wilson hits the nail on the head giving information to young folks on their level。 This is well written， informative， and fun。 Beautiful illustrations and relatable voice on intersectionality and feminism。

I really enjoyed this book！ I thought it was extremely informational， while still keeping the reader engaged with the fun and bright colors and illustrations。I docked one star from my review because I feel like the author fell into the trap of grouping all non-binary individuals together。 While I appreciated the inclusion， this falls into the assumption that all non-binary people are afab （assigned female at birth）， when this is simply untrue。 Terms like Misogyny-Affected， or MA， may have been b I really enjoyed this book！ I thought it was extremely informational， while still keeping the reader engaged with the fun and bright colors and illustrations。I docked one star from my review because I feel like the author fell into the trap of grouping all non-binary individuals together。 While I appreciated the inclusion， this falls into the assumption that all non-binary people are afab （assigned female at birth）， when this is simply untrue。 Terms like Misogyny-Affected， or MA， may have been better。 The author clearly had good intentions， but the perpetuation of that stereotype bothered me。Overall， I would definitely recommend this book to all feminists， whether they already consider themselves well-read and informed or not！ 。。。more

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Plc。Wilson challenges readers to think about their lives and where they stand。 She provides history on feminist movements and brings readers to the present situation around the world。 Shorter chapters provide needed information with personal challenge questions at the end of each。 A reader can choose their level of involvement and interaction with each point raised。 The glossary and further reading sections at the end provide ample information I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Plc。Wilson challenges readers to think about their lives and where they stand。 She provides history on feminist movements and brings readers to the present situation around the world。 Shorter chapters provide needed information with personal challenge questions at the end of each。 A reader can choose their level of involvement and interaction with each point raised。 The glossary and further reading sections at the end provide ample information to continue growth。 。。。more

I'll be honest， I'm not usually a fan of feminist books because I feel they tend to preach at me， so it was a pleasant surprise that I found this book to be an enjoyable read。 The title calls the book a primer and I think it really is the perfect introduction for a young feminist。 It has， what I would consider， more standard chapters about History and Media as well as some interesting new takes on topics like Wellness and Relationships。 I like the idea that is is not just about one chapter or su I'll be honest， I'm not usually a fan of feminist books because I feel they tend to preach at me， so it was a pleasant surprise that I found this book to be an enjoyable read。 The title calls the book a primer and I think it really is the perfect introduction for a young feminist。 It has， what I would consider， more standard chapters about History and Media as well as some interesting new takes on topics like Wellness and Relationships。 I like the idea that is is not just about one chapter or subject， but the book looks at feminism as "a path for critical thought and discourse within and outside of itself。"The authors kept the book engaging by asking readers to think about their belief systems and what influenced those beliefs。 Each chapter also included interactive calls to action that require readers to pause and think about what they've read。 The self-relection combined with interesting stories and statistics make for a great learning experience for the reader。Toward the end of the book there's a comment about how there is "no one right path" for feminism and I think that's what's really unique about this book。 It doesn't try to tell you what to do or what is right， but presents a framework for a thoughtful， informed reflection on what feminism means to you。 。。。more
