Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World by Kelly Jensen
2.0
This book is geared toward teenagers and thus the essays and layout were not that appealing to me. There were a couple that I enjoyed, specifically those written by the conservative and the religious.
There are many that take on the subject of body positivity, which is an important subject. And they make me appreciate how well my parents did in this department. Not that I don't have those issues but nothing like those outlined in the pages of this book.
Somehow, even when I think back to my teen years I don't remember ever being made to feel like I couldn't do whatever I wanted or that my opinion wasn't as important as the next persons. I'm not sure if I was just clueless, if my parents were really good at creating a home environment that negated that, or maybe not having a TV turned out to be a great thing. But for any girls out there that feel this way, maybe this book would be good for them.
