Everybody Should Read/Listen to This Book

Everybody should read this book. bell hooks does an excellent job making feminist theory accessible and relatable to anybody.

I have loved Robin Miles narration since listening to The Broken Earth Trilogy.

Sadly, 25 years after the book's publication, I can't say we're any closer to being free of sexism and male domination. It feels like we're worse off than we were then.

Lots to learn

This was a great introduction to feminism for me (29 y/o M). There were many eye opening revelations, from historical accounts of how racism was present in the movement, to the many examples of how the patriarchy negatively affects men.

I sometimes felt like arguments and trains of thought were not laid out in an easy way to follow, though a second listen will likely make it easier.

The narrator was impeccable. She delivered with such feeling that I kept believing that she was the author herself.

Wrong numbered chapters/ no description

Hope they fix the edition of this Amazing book , Audible.
The Content needs descriptions and the chapters are wrongly numbered.
This is one of the most important feminist writers: would be important to take care of the work presentation.

Interesting and important book.

I loved this book. The language is very accessible. I really recommend for everyone. Amazing

So helpful and inspiring

She did such a great job explaining feminism. I’ve been a woman’s advocate for as long as I can remember, but understanding how to be a feminist as a man can be challenging. She gave me so much to think about that I can apply to my life and ways to grow and improve myself. The idea that anyone should be dominating anyone else unless it’s consensual is alien to me.

A book everyone needs to read NOW!!

This piece of academia by the pate great bell hooks helps women and men understand the complexities of feminism and how it’s not just beneficial for women, but for men as well. It’s not anti-male in the slightest. It actually criticizes those anti-male feminists as much as those who want to maintain the patriarchy. Highly recommend!

Eye opening and a great starting point

if you are looking for a way to begin exploring accessible feminist discourse, start here. It is written and presented in an accessible and thought provoking way that lends itself to discussing with friends and those who want to learn

a book for everybody

this book is an accessible yet solid primer on intersectional feminism. it's thoroughness on history and the many facets of the movement make it an invaluable addition to the library of anyone interested in social justice.

Great

a needed book

bell hooks should be read at schools and by all living human beings. Her reflections over male domination and the end of patriarchy are needed to understand the world we live in and have the hope, strengh and love to change it.
