This book presents a lot of takes on feminism, which I wouldn’t find inappropriate for a girl of that age. I would suggest that the question is less whether she can digest it (she can, and if there are parts that she can’t, she’ll remember them later to her benefit), but rather whether her parents are ready to provide her with such rich feminist material. All the best!(less)

Ginny Morris I believe the author states she is writing the book March 2020 - beginning of the pandemic.
