Journalist and activist Scarlett Curtis interviews inspiring women about what feminism means to them, and why it matters. I was eager to learn anything new, to hear about things that are generally pushed aside by the media and society as a whole.I've seen a lot of reviews from feminists saying that they realised after they started reading it that they realised they weren't the target audience for this book - but who is the target audience for this book?
