I stumbled across this simple but powerful little book at a used book store in Campbell last night. I was drawn towards it by the adjacent subject label,' Death and Dying", which relates to some things going on in my personal life. The section next to that one was "Gender Studies." Three copies of this book stood clustered together, yet one of them stuck out at an angle between the other two, triggering my OCD. Instead of pushing it back in place, though, the title caught my eye, I pulled it out, and I started to skim through it. It resonated with me. I got the audio version last night and finished it within an hour. It reminded me of a post I wrote on my other site back in 2019 regarding gender bias.As a parent, I want this future for my daughter. Regardless of that, I want it, period. Like race, gender should not be a factor when it comes to equality across the board.
I don't own many physical books beyond those I want to re-read or have visible, to help me remain conscious of their content and impact. I'm going to go back and buy it ASAP.
The book is based on her TED talk and there is a good analysis of it here.
