Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World by Kelly Jensen

2.0

I wasn't the target audience for this book, so it's hard to judge what's appropriate. I got it to see if maybe my older teenage daughter might be interested, but I don't think it offers much for her age either. Mindy Kaling's essay was my favorite and it came at the very end. I would have liked to see the topic of responsibility addressed. There was plenty of victim-hood, but I would have liked to read more about how each person can be responsible for herself. Also, I would have liked to see more nuance in addressing misogyny - with discerning intent. There is ignorant misogyny and malicious misogyny and while they both need to be addressed, how you go about it makes a world of difference. Anyway, that's my two cents.
