4.5

A book that starts out slow and depressing, until it suddenly builds to rich, incredibly articulate writing. Febos mines the depths of despair for rich insights into femininity and life as a whole. If you’re brave enough to stick through the darkness, it’s well worth it. Her essays detail everything from her relationship to her mother to her childhood, to the development of her writing career and an exploration of her relationship to her self worth. Febos redefines not only what it means to be “slut,” but what it means to be a woman, and a free one at that

A great collection of essays on Being (Perceived As) A Woman Under Patriarchy and all the fucky wucky stuff that comes along with that. A little more binary than what I usually prefer, but Febos' level of nuance makes up for the generalizations. The tagline on my copy of the book suggests that it's a good read for women of all kinds - mothers, daughters, sisters - but I think men would benefit a lot by reading it as well.
