purplepoofy 's review for:

Pussy: A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer
3.0

3.5 stars. Honestly, this was a really fun read for me. And I can see why some people were completely turned off from the writing. It's not everyone's cup of tea. I think the best approach is to get into this book with an open mind for something fun and wondrous.

Take the writing with a grain of salt. Yes, there are moments where the author's hidden conservative and old-fashioned views sneak through despite her outward liberal projection.
Yes, there are times where you will disagree with her idea of what sexy is, and that you don't need thigh-high boots for that. You may cringe a little when she says sister goddesses are encouraged to skate by your feelings and 'focus on the positive', the 'you can do it' attitude substituting empathy and being with someone in their sadness it despair.

But take the good stuff. Like listening to your pussy/core/root/divining rod/whatever you want to call it. Like tapping into your femininity and power. Like living your best life.
