I Hear She's a Real Bitch by Jen Agg
4.0
As a female restaurant owner myself, I really related to a lot of the industry related content here, and felt like I learned a lot.
That being said, I felt like a lot of her ‘feminism’ led plot/stories were like a sex in the city kind of not quite version, like I understood the point she was trying to get across, but talking about vaginas a lot does not a feminist make. *Not saying she’s not a feminist** just that her writing maybe didn’t capture her version of it in its full capacity.
But her book is not a how to manual, and I found it a page turner where her story and her journey was very inspiring, and I loved how many parallels I could draw between her journey and mine, and I wouldn’t feel I belonged at her ‘table’ in a million years.
I hope to visit her restaurants one day myself and in the meantime I will continue to hone my boss Bitch energy in homage to Jen Agg from my own little west coast joint!
