Feminism: Opposing Viewpoints


Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐


“As individuals and as a nation, it is imperative that we consider the opinions of others and examine them with skill and discernment.” -John Stuart Mill

Feminism: Opposing Views is a collection of essays discussing various issues as they pertain to feminism and women. The ideas and opinions discussed are neither wrong or right nor are they presented as such. It is simply a way to question feminism and your own ideas on the different topics discussed.

I found this book to be a perfect look into feminism and the opposition to the movement. The essays were very diverse and discussed everything from should women work to can feminism and religion mix. Each essay started with questions you should consider as you read. I thought this was very helpful. The questions really assisted in making you consider and pay attention to what you’re reading.

While reading, it seemed that not all of the authors were fully informed about what they were discussing and new information has come out since the essays were written, as well as since the book was published. Because of this, I would recommend doing your own research if you decide to read Feminism: Opposing Viewpoints.

Even though this is a nonfiction book, I found myself becoming very emotional throughout. I identify as a feminist and this book really helped me see deeper into the beliefs I follow and the other side of beliefs I don’t support. I would recommend reading this book whether you’re a feminist or not. As John Stuart Mill said, we should consider the opinions of others. Feminism: Opposing Viewpoints is available for purchase on Amazon is hardcover and paperback.

      Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐   I received Space Brooms! as an advanced readers copy. It will be available to purchase on March 25, 2025. “All my life I wanted adventure.” Space Brooms! By A, G. Rodriguez is a wild sci-fi adventure that follows Johnny Gomez a space broom – term for a custodian- as he teams up with a captivating cast of characters. After Johnny happens upon a data chit containing information worth millions,   his boring life becomes much more entertaining and filled with the new and exciting people he meets along the way.  Space Brooms! is an easy to read book that quickly becomes immersive and enjoyable. The characters, starting with Johnny, are delightful even if they don’t all have Johnny’s best interests at heart. They’re likeable and well written so you aren’t reading about characters that just seem to be copy and pasted to only fill the pages. The new terminology that exists in this new futuristic space world is introduced and understoo...

Thunder and Daisy Review

 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thunder and Daisy by Mercedes Paradiso is a collection of poetry. Split into two chapters –Thunder and   Daisy- the poems contained within focus mainly on love and heartbreak.   Thunder and Daisy is a specific type of poetry called instapoetry. This is fairly obvious when reading the book. The poems are intersected with pictures to represent the poem that precedes it. I feel that the pictures aren’t necessary and the poems speak for themselves. The poems in Daisy broke away from the more simplistic ones in Thunder. Seeing the difference between the two chapters was a great way to not have the poetry seem repetitive.   I’m glad I read Thunder and Daisy. I didn’t enjoy every poem included but I could feel the emotions that were put into the entire book. If you’re a fan of poetry, I definitely recommend checking out Thunder and Daisy. Since Mercedes Paradiso includes her plan for releasing a book in the future that will be linked to Thunder and D...
