A review by mllejoyeuxnoel
Shrill by Lindy West
5.0
Easily my new favorite book from a modern feminist writer. West's writing is not only accessible and entertaining, but it's also fucking ORIGINAL. The stories I knew, the academia I've chewed over a thousand times since college - it all felt new and refreshing, like taking a continuing education course and going, "Oh shit, I knew there was a reason these are required in order for me to keep my license to practice feminism!"
I laughed, I cried (no, really - you will, too), I raged, I conspicuously thrust my nose in the air when a guy across from me on the train gave me side-eye after reading the book's subtitle... this book did it all! A hearty five stars for this inspiring work.
