[This. Literally, Wollstonecraft invented the sarcastic bitch feminist motif. It is really impressive to see. Read a few chapters of A Vindication of the Rights of Women and you will have an idea of what you are getting your hands on. Also, you can check out Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay. It is actually not too biased, looking more at a priveleged educated black woman's look at femininst, with her starting out the work by admiting her own privelege and position, but that she still finds these issues worrying. Not every essay is about feminism and I think that is by design to sell books, but her two-parter about her own rape experience is a solid example of an attempt to reach out to both men and women. She does not blame her attackers, she asks the society of men that judge rape victims to hold men accountable. Sometimes the writing is very Eat Pray Love or whatever, but it is straightforward and a great way to tackle feminism as an outsider because Gay herself feels an outsider to feminism due to her color. Also, she drops some good book references.]
