This was a very interesting read, I really love June Sarpong's work. I did find that this book leaned a little heavily on the "both genders" idea for me but, other than that, I found this to be fascinating with the statistics provided really grounding Sarpong's points.

Unfortunately leans heavily on capitalism and economy in its argument.

Having read a lot about feminism and seeing this was on the short side, I decided to pick this up. I would like to say first that June Sarpong's voice is really clear and I loved hearing from her perspective, especially as she details her own experience in the entertainment industry.
While I have heard a lot of the same ideas before in other books, I still think that the other experiences do come through well. Being a short read and introducing many feminist ideas, The Power Of Women would be great for anyone who wants to start their feminism journey.

I remember June as a fabulous MTV VJ from the 90s - not just a pretty face, she always did have and awesome, vibrant personality. I had no idea she has been working hard to become such an inspirational woman! I was really interested to read her essay on feminism. She backs herself up with statistics and makes many good arguments for the cause. It was also very enlightening to read about her personal struggles as a woman and what she is doing to help the cause. I can’t wait to see what she does next and hopefully get involved myself. I think I will buy some extra copies of this to distribute.
