Descrizione del libro

“Roxane Gay is so great at weaving the intimate and personal with what is most bewildering and upsetting at this moment in culture. She is always looking, always thinking, always passionate, always careful, always right there.” — Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?

A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched cultural observers of her generation

In these funny and insightful essays, Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture.

Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better, coming from one of our most interesting and important cultural critics.

Recensioni di Bad Feminist

Great book

Sophie

Gayn kirjoittajaääni on kiinnostava ja persoonallinen. Hän kirjoittaa pelottomasti ja uskaltaa kritisoida. Mielestäni mitään uusia feministisiä näkökulmia tämä kirja ei aihealueen tuntevalle tarjoa.

Absolute Empfehlung!

Tykkäsin lukijasta ja oli hyviä pohdintoja. Feminismi ei tarkoita vihaisia naisia. Tai edes karvasäärisiä naisia, jotka vihaavat miehiä. Suosittelen lukemaan, jos feminismi on sinulle vierasta.
