A review by mollybonovskyanderson
Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay

3.0

Roxane Gay makes a good point about feminist literature/entertainment carrying such a burden, needing to be "everything to everyone." Her book is clearly not that; it is flawed, imperfect, perhaps inconclusive and incomplete, like all of us. I found it entertaining, sometimes a bit off-track, but it read like listening to a close friend talk candidly about her true self, rather than someone trying to be the pillar of feminism. Hence the title. Take it for what it is; one woman's exploration of herself and her place in feminism. I don't agree with everything she says, but why would I?
