Modern feminism has been a topic of conversation nowadays. And what is the better way to be knowledgeable in this issue? Read a book.

In this book, she narrates how she has experienced those things and humorously overcame them. The book is intended not only to educate women but even men. How men’s words can hurt a woman unknowingly and unintentionally, so they should be cautious about what they say. Lastly, it is everyone’s bible because it makes everyone see the side of the victim, how it affects her and how to move on from it.
