4.5

This collection is about 10 years old now and while many of the feminist ideas are eternal, it feels a little basic in the year 2024. Still, I tried to read each essay with that in mind and tried not to hold it against the work. Also, even if the ideas are basic, it’s crucial to be reminded 1) how far we have come 2) that we are not crazy.

‘Men Explain Thing to Me’ - 5/5
‘The Longest War’ - 4.5/5
‘Worlds Collide in a Luxury Suite’ - 4/5
‘In Praise of the Threat: What Marriage Equality Really Means’ - 4/5
‘Grandmother Spider’ - 4.75/5
‘Woolf’s Darkness: Embracing the Inexplicable’ - 5/5
‘Casandra Among the Creeps’ - 5/5
‘#YesAllWomen: Feminists Rewrite the Story’ - 4/5
‘Pandora’s Box and the Volunteer Police Force’ - 3.5/5

accessible, intro to feminism essays  and despite nothing new, it was still engaging. however where is the intersectionality and capitalism was mentioned on the second last page lol. Also what is going on with the ode to Virginia Woolf and Susan Sontag’s fractured relationship.
