The book explores among other topics why thinking in absolutes like 'I believe her' perpetuate injustice. It looks at the intersectionality of gender, sex, race, social status, ability etc. and ties them all together in a compelling way. 
I was unsure whether I should read the book because I usually get bored with philosiphical texts but this one held my attention

Definitely a book that everyone should be reading. A bit dense and hard to read (in part due to the weight of the subject) at times, but jam packed with thought provoking questions that will genuinely make you ponder the state of “Post Me-Too” feminism.

I picked up this book after reading the titular essay (after reading "The Aptness of Anger" in a class), and I'm so glad I did! I absolutely love how Srinivasan writes -- she's engaging and accessible, asks a lot of questions, and doesn't always end up with a concrete stance at the end. The book left me with a lot to think about and imagine on my own, and I'm looking forward to reading it again in a couple years when I might know a little more about the topics in it.
