While it may seem like a strike against this book that it shirks narrative for a somewhat uninspiring recitation of facts, arguably this straight forward, entirely apolitical presentation of the material serves to avoid pigeonholing. Because of this, the book is able to serve as a good jumping off point for young girls being raised in conservative environments who might not have the opportunity to read overtly feminist literature. The extremely neutrality of the text is, therefore, ultimately a good thing. ( )
