Meat Market: Female Flesh Under Capitalism by Laurie Penny

informative inspiring fast-paced

4.0

pleasantly suprising nuanced and empathetic essay style book.i strongly agreed with most of it, it wa so informative. the prose is kinda simple and matter of fact, id say it lacks passion, but that could be a pro for some. idk how to write this without sounding pretentious as hell but i prefer prose- in non-ficition, philosphy, politics etc. book passion and flowery language and esp for a strongly opinioned book- lots of hate! the trans chapter was def the best- ngl a white english lady whos probs wealthy(she did write abt capitalism) saying transfeminism is vital to the feminist movement is amazing. and u can kinda tell it was written by a (very smart)25 yr old.but yh the whole book ito me is like an academic book and some of the stuff was a little surface level-or maybe ive read more indepth abt.if this queen does have a twitter account(it said on the book she runs a blog-tho this was 2011....)i know its fire. the book was like 67 pages. ill def borrow this to my friends who dont enjoy reading painful jargon philosphy theory(like a queen like me does)overrall, im glad i picked it up(from the recycling(it was there bc someone annotated a bit prior))
