A review by katieinca
Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay
5.0
This is a hell of a book and you should read it. It won't always be easy, but it'll be worth it. She doesn't offer any easy answers, but she spends a lot of time with interesting questions.
You will laugh about Scrabble, and maybe about Sweet Valley High. Probably there will be times when you'll need to put it down for a day or two to digest or to breathe. You may want to call her up and argue with her a little.
Gay would scare the crap out of me as a teacher, and I bet she's an amazing one. She'd let you know when she thought you were capable of better, and you'd believe her and not want to disappoint her. And she *would* be hard on you, because she's critical of everyone, including herself. But generally in very compassionate way.
