My husband had to get this for a college class and it has been very useful for the quizzes he's had to take as well as the writing reflections. Pretty well organized and accessible. Not too dense or dry like so many textbooks can be, interesting content for those already well versed in the subject. Yet for those that are somehow not in the know of the struggle for equality still to this day for women and many groups of people it is an eye opener.Personally I like the cover too but in the end it's the content of course that matters most!It's a textbook but a fairly good one. Renting it is how we did it and that seems to be the best way to go unless you intend to go into this as a major then you may want to own a copy.
This textbook is one of the best I have had to read from so far in my college experience. It has very helpful chapter introductions that define and explain any terms that are used in that particular chapter. It also includes several different media into these introductions, with many having comic strips, surveys, or polls. It really helped me understand what feminism really is and why it is important. If you are dreading having to work with this book for one of your classes, dont! Some of the readings are long and dry but very informational. Most though, are enjoyable to read, whether they are poetry, real life experiences, or web articles. Definitely recommend this book!
WAY more than a book on Feminism! I had to buy this book for a feminism college class. It is about SO much more than feminism. I have learned about privilege, feminism, the media and SO much more! I HAD to buy it for a class, but am so glad I was bale to learn about these topics!
A textbook that I didn't mind reading. This was the main text for my Women's and Gender Studies class, and it was an invaluable resource. It holds your attention and presents information in a clear, concise, and interesting manner. I learned a lot from it. This is not just a book for hardcore feminists - everyone stands to gain something from reading it. The content is well-researched and thoughtful. Great book!
I rented this for a class, and I am loving the actual readings for it. It's very thought provoking about the way people view society, privilege, etc.
very inspiring not only to women but for everyone.
Pay $99 for a damage book and I'm not happy because significant water damage in the state was in good to very good condition
the chapters tend to be long but they keeps your attention and gives you a lot and you learn about things you didn't know prior to reading the book.
