Incredible book on feminism and patriarchy. Eltahawy does an excellent job explaining the different ways patriarchy is presented around the world. She highlights feminism from the points of view of women of color, Muslims, immigrants, and queer women and non-binary people. She calls out the issues of white feminism and the consequences of non-intersectionality. Eltahawy was able to educate me on issues I was not aware of while also giving me the language to vocalize my own thoughts. I’m fired up after reading this book! I think it’s an excellent tool not just in the classroom but for people looking for solidarity and those looking to understand patriarchy and feminism from the perspective of marginalized, non-white, non-Western communities.
