I decided to spend January 2019 reading a selection of feminist books, and I chose to save this one until last as it seemed to me to be the one that was most forward-looking. It’s an absolutely fantastic book, breaking down gender inequality in a statistical way without ever dehumanising anyone, and taking into account the massive cultural, societal and class differences that affect women all around the world. Chakrabarti does not shy away from some of the horrors faced by women in some parts of the world, but most importantly, she lays out clear (if not always simple) solutions. If I had to recommend just one book on feminism it would be this one. There’s so much information in quite a short book, without being too dense to get through, and I can guarantee that it will get you to look at the world a little differently.
