Bad Feminist: Essays by Roxane Gay

5.0

I'm late to this one, but I'm surprised this book or any of its containing essays on teaching, living, loving; pop culture, movies, books; race, gender, and, duh, feminism wasn't assigned in any of the dozens of courses in my decade in academia. Read "Bad Feminist" for all the life lessons and so much more. It's elegant. It's clever. It's honest. Roxane Gay offers so much to explore in each essay, and offers us her soul in most instances. Any one of her essays, and the entire book really, should be assigned reading in high school and colleges and beyond. Just go read it. Now. And reread it later, too.
