Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies): Amazing Women on What the F-Word Means to Them by Scarlett Curtis

Feminists Don’t Wear Pink
I sometimes struggle in rating and reviewing books with various contributions. Also this was different than a book of short stories, or a book of essays. It was more like reading a conversation between a large group of women.
Girls Up are the charity behind the collection – and in a nutshell it is a collection from different women on what Feminism is to them. It is set up in common theme sections. Some parts were larger than others, some were more interesting than others – I particularly liked the parts that weren’t ‘celebrities’ the women who worked in charities and institutions – I wish there had been more of that.
This isn’t a book of feminist theory or deep evaluation. This is a book like a hug, like a friend confirming with you that these things that bother you, you aren’t alone in this. It’s beautiful that a book like this is out there. I’d recommend it for all the girls and young women in your life that might be finding their feet in understanding that Feminism isn’t the scary word that we were raised to believe it was.
