1. I had no idea the battle of the Naomis even existed. I was shocked to read about how far down the rabbit hole Naomi Wolf had fallen into, especially because I loved her book The Beauty Myth.
2. I was also shocked to read that Christiane Northrup had sold out. I used to respect these two women so much!
3. I was surprised that Canada wasn’t as free from extreme rightist politics as I thought.
4. I was puzzled as to why Naomi Klein, Naomi Wolf, and Naomi Campbell would be confused. They are so very different women, and even if it’s an aggressive autocorrect, the first letters of their last names aren’t even anywhere close to each other on the keyboard!!
I laughed, even guffawed at parts. I blurt out “EW!” over and over. I applauded. I gasped. I scratched my head. This book had it all. And while I’m both sorry that Naomi Wolf’s mind and body has been kidnapped and replaced by an alien and that Naomi Klein has had to suffer for it, I’m glad it led to this book. And yeah, it was worth staying up all night to finish the book.
