Changing the world starts with you! Challenge your own biases with this super-sharp workbook. Written by educator and NYT bestselling Bad Feminist author Roxane Gay with writer Megan Pillow.

Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze
Lennard J. Davis's idea of "the norm"
Kimberle Crenshaw's theory of intersectionality
Sara Ahmed's idea about positions of consciousness

With these guiding influences, be encouraged to Do The Work. And it all starts with your understanding of power. It's the first step towards a more fulfilling life and a better world for everyone.
