An awesome punk ass coming of age of a gay Latina on a road to finding feminism.
Like all roads in life it’s not at all as she expected, her devotions, her heart and her life will shift and break.
A book that points out so much of what’s wrong in society, in the patriarchy, in white feminism and privilege. 
A book about all female bodies, female worship, and all the female power.
A great tale of discovery and curiosity, and that imparts so much knowledge for those less knowledgeable on feminism, racism, diversity of relationships and queerness.

Are you a feminist? 
- yeah, don’t answer if it’s no, and go educate yourself. This is a book for all feminists but definitely if you’re white like me this is absolutely necessary. I am sure there’re non-fiction books out there better to impart this knowledge but if you’re lazy like me this is it, plus it is very biographic (according to the author), so.
