This book...is amazing.

To all anti-feminists or non-feminists: I challenge you to pick this up and find a reason not to love feminism.

To all feminists: Read this. We all need some cheering up right now, I'd imagine, and this will give you a little bit of hope.

To all men: This involves you, too. Society disservices you with gender expectations as well as women. You are not oppressed, but you are hurt. We would all benefit from a change in our cultural recognition of what gender is.

This book stands out from other books about feminism in so many ways: In its brevity; in the power and beauty of its prose; in its discussion of African sexism alongside its existence in the West; in the relatability as well as in the differences.

It's a gorgeous little book. I know I will return to it.

Bottom line: Read it, read it, read it. No excuses. It's short, it's important, it's lovely.
