This book is definitely on the extremes of radical feminism. That said, it will definitely make you think. Almost every page had an epiphany-inducing statement. While I didn't agree with everything she said, everything she said was well-backed and extremely well written and had real ties to what is going on in the world. This book is very dense, so it's not the kind of feminist theory book I would recommend to someone just starting to discover the field of women's studies. However, anyone who considers themselves a radical feminist or has an interest in that spectrum should consider this required reading. It challenges just about every social norm and sexual norm you can think of, and since radical feminism is about changing the roots (radical=root) of society and norms, this book is pretty much the definition of radical feminism. Some of the book can be a bit hard to get through and choke down, but it's well worth reading. ( )
