Unspeakable Things: Sex, Lies and Revolution by Laurie Penny

3.0

i liked this but it felt very...limited in scope? which is understandable, laurie penny admits that she is young and is writing from her own perspective so i suppose the fact that the way this felt very very directed to a white middle class audience couldn't be helped

idk. i would maybe give it someone very new to feminism because i think it does express some of the anger and urgency fueling some of the movement in a way that feels non-threatening -- to me anyways, ymmv. plus penny is compelling just on a technical writing level, like sure almost none of it felt fresh but the way she said things made me willing to keep going

3 stars
