Rest assured that any book with the words "quantum" and "feminist" in the title is complete pop-sci quantum mysticism trash that isn't even wrong, just delusional. The fact that such a name even interests you should be distressing enough in itself, although it appears you do not have the metacognitive capacities to recognize that you're probably retarded.

That said, there are real books by real philosophers of physics that address conceptual issues related to quantum entanglement and associated problems with nonlocality. You should probably start with Tim Maudlin, who wrote the excellent "Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity". Mary Bell, wife of John Bell (of Bell's Theorem fame) just released a nice collection of essays from prominent philosophers and physicists on this topic titled "Quantum Nonlocality and Reality: 50 Years of Bell's Theorem" which looks very good. There's other stuff if you want to dig deeper but that's where you should start.

From reading the title and description it looks like pure dogshit to me. If anyone has read it and can deny that it's dogshit I would be very surprised.

Not OP, but it looks pretty interesting. Would say it is at all accessible to a layman?

OP here. I appreciate this. Is it accesible?

No idea about the book, however it looks to me like the "feminist theorist" part is just meant to be advertising/catch people's attention and may be irrelevant to the book itself

There are equations, but you can easily skip them without losing any of the real substance of the book. It's about as accessible as it gets for the budding philosopher who blows at math and just wants to get at the juicy philosophical conundrums at the heart of quantum mechanics. Maudlin in particular is very good at explaining physical concepts without the egregious simplifications you might find in a Hawking primer. However, before you even do this it might be wise to familiarize yourself with quantum foundations and its associated philosophy as a whole. For that, Peter Lewis's "Quantum Ontology: A Guide to the Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics" is the absolute best place and most accessible for the layman.

Much appreciated

Speaking of accessible books about physics, I'll go ahead and mention George Gamow's 'Mr Tompkins in Paperback.'
