I bought this book for my little brother as an introduction to feminism. I think that this book is perfect for a primer to feminism in a way that is accessible and engaging especially for teenagers. It didn't get too in depth, but I think that that is appropriate for trying to speak to audiences whom may be new to feminism! Even as a gender studies major, I loved reading it!
