According to the online dictionary Cambridge Dictionary, to incite means to encourage someone to do or feel something unpleasant or violent.
I am going to use it in a sentence.
(ex) John's book about anti-feminism incited her to write an extremely critical review about it.
Am I using the verb correctly? Thanks.

Re: usage of "to incite"
Yes (although here 'inspired' might perhaps be a more appropriate choice of word).
