Women Don't Owe You Pretty

the first book that every girl needs as they're growing up is that american girl doll ‘care and keeping of you' book. the second is florence given's Women Don't Owe You Pretty.

i cringe thinking of all the times in my life this book would've come in handy as near-free therapy. while from the outside it seemed like very live-laugh-love feminism, instead we got class-conscious, privilege-acknowledging, girlbossing feminism. love the book, hate that it took me 24 years before reading it
