Loved this! Nugent's voice is kind and hilarious, and doesn't shy away from the messiness of certain topics, like eating disorders and body image. This is a great book for those who aren't quite sure what feminism means for them or why they should give a damn. Even though I'm a seasoned feminist, I still loved reading these essays and being reminded of why it's so great and necessary to grow up, speak out and find feminism. I will say that, thanks to this book, I am so inspired to wear lipstick, skin tones and complementary hues be damned.

I do wish she had spoken a little more to the importance and necessity of intersectional feminism, and go more into detail in how race, class, gender identity, etc. affect a person, but maybe (hopefully) she's saving it for her next book.
