“I didn’t just read this book; this book was a study for me. Throughout my slow reading of this book of essays, I was amazed at to see the roots of so many progressive ideas that we take for granted (or as new) today. Some of my favorite essays: “What Does a Woman Need to Know”, “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Experience”, “Blood, Bread, and Poetry”, and “The Distance Between Language and Violence”. However, the other essays in the book give a good amount of context of her own life story, which amplifies a lot of her ideas in my favorite essays. So, definitely read the book in whole!”Grace McDonough
