This felt very dated in its language, but still painfully current in its content - particularly in the way the writers called out racism within feminist movements and discussed intersectionality.

Since I was reading the fourth edition, published in 2015, I wish there had been just a little bit of updating to make it feel a bit more modern, as some essays were cultural analyses of things that happened in the 1970s and speeches that were made around 1980, when the original edition was published. There was only one note that I saw to indicate that one essay writer was now a trans man, but no works were included by transgender women.
