Reviews

[Grace Hill · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great material for this essay I'm writing... the version of this "book" that I read was the original, a 30 page manifesto, not a full book.

[henna gibbs · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good takes on Ibsen, but a little hectic

[Alexis Stasko · Rating 2 out of 5]

An interesting viewpoint on misogyny embedded in capitalism and how the success of communism or socialism relies on the liberation of women, however in my opinion lacks intersectionality in regards to race. Overall, it's slightly hectic, I don't think Mitchell delves deep enough into any of her points.
