In the introduction, after talking about trans rights, the overrepresentation of wealthy white women, and anticapitalism, she promotes Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Emma Watson, and Sheryl Sandberg. Despite arguing for coalitions and solidarity in difference, Bryson gives immoderate space to anti-trans fearmongering in chapter 4. There's a school report style that presents information so broad it becomes insubstantial. From the final chapter:

Feminist political methods are similarly diverse, ranging from the very local to the global, from academic research to mass demonstrations, from workplace campaigns to corporate initiatives and from lobbying parliaments to working with asylum seekers. Some feminist groups focus on specific groups of women, such as migrants, while some try to include women from all backgrounds. Some are deliberately non-hierarchical, and some are conventionally organised. Some feminists work in women-only groups, and many work with men in trade unions, political parties or direct-action campaigns.
