This book was recommended to me as an introduction to feminism however I wouldn't call it an introduction to feminism at all. It's an introduction into the classical impact on society today and I think it serves it's purpose in that whilst focusing on feminism.
It brought to light connections from the classical world and the modern Western world that I hadn't considered before. 
It was a powerful book and a reminder of how much is left to accomplish.
The book is limited by the heavy focus on white political figures (Margaret Thatcher, Hillary Clinton, Angela Merkel and Theresa May) and although the abolitionist and BLM movements are mentioned, Beard does not go into any depth about the people involved. This creates a very 2 dimensional image of the society we live in. 
Overall, this is a pleasant and short read and I would give it 4 ⭐
