I love Drew, and this cements that fact! It really felt like you're just sitting down with an older sis who's looking out for you. If you've read any intersectional feminist work, what she's saying isn't new. However I find it refreshing to hear these perspectives coming from a huge Internet personality. This book showcases another side to Drew, one that's reflective, wise, and loving (and a sprinkling of some of the brash online persona she utilizes hehe). And if this book gets picked up by an audience (especially a younger one) that isn't as likely to be reading Angela Davis or bell hooks, then it's a win to me.
On a personal note, I really appreciated Drew's chapter on choosing to remain child-free. It spoke very closely to my own experiences with coming to that decision. It felt validating to read these words from another woman who's in a happy, committed relationship with a man as well.
