Bitch Doctrine: Essays for Dissenting Adults by Laurie Penny
4.0
Bitch Doctrine is well-written, lucid, angry, stingingly funny and my favourite book of hers so far.
I found the essays to be crystal clear, her barbs well aimed and funny, and Penny at her best when she targets the people that should be her political allies but too frequently aren't or when she reaches out a hand to fellow bullied nerds.
Slightly too many of the essays were known territory for this to be feel brand new, but I am a fan so re-reads were a pleasure and not a chore.
I will pre-order the next book.
