Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies): Amazing Women on What the F-Word Means to Them by Scarlett Curtis

3.0

“she has a voice. if you can’t hear it, maybe it’s because you’re too busy talking.”

this book was… ok.

i liked a few of the sections, and i thought it was a good idea, it just wasn’t, what i’d hoped for. that title really caught my attention, because i thought it would be more of a commentary on feminism within/outside the male gaze. i don’t know. i just wasn’t really expecting so many of the contributors to pose such a shaky idea of feminism. whilst obviously it’s not simple, for a book that sort of claims to be an introduction to the topic, it never really defines anything and a lot of the chapters were quite weird.

i also wasn’t a fan of the poetry break in the middle - which is a first for me lmao.
