reviewed The state of women in the world atlas on December 17, 2018 The state of women in the world atlas
I loved this book because it taught me SO much that I didn't know! I have been very into the idea of gender equality my whole life, but I never knew how bad it was in some places. This encouraged me to stand up for women's rights even more! 💗
