Hmmm...hard to say. I think it depends on your reason for wanting to read it.

Frankly, I found it incredibly frustrating as well, from an obvious feminist perspective, even when I read it.

I couldn't even finish it first go around. It was one of those I often found myself with a desire to chuck it across the room, you know?

I did eventually finish it. From a perspective of near history, and failed prediction, it had a different value. I think, even more removed, that would be more true. It was still painful though.

I definitely wouldn't read it with the intent of finding any meaningful answers or as insight into where feminism is. I actually think it was very well received by any of the feminist heavy hitters. From what I saw, it was mostly polite disinterest in discussing it, which means they read it or were aware of the contents and did not come to the same conclusions or, best case scenario, wanted to hold some cautious optimism.

But all of us who have been around a while know exactly how tenuous our positions in society are and always will be as long as the general consensus is that our bodies are collective property of civilization and therefore subject to regulation.

As long as rights are granted to us based on gender and that distinction is made comparatively to our male counterparts, they can just as easily be taken away. This last year has proven that, yeah?
