The Vagenda: A Zero Tolerance Guide to the Media by Holly Baxter, Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
3.0
I would say that this book is definitely a beginning into the magazine and media industry and how this feeds into a women's self worth, convincing us that we are not enough, we should buy certain products, be a certain size and wear particular clothes/underwear etc. It didn't contain much in terms of academic facts or studies and it was a little repetitive. In saying that, I did enjoy it and laughed out loud many times. The message is loud and clear and i definitely wont be buying into magazines and the culture that they feed into.
A History of Britain in 21 Women by Jenni Murray
3.0
a good and broad selection of ground breaking women who fought for their cause, despite the societal expectations placed upon them. this book is good for short introductions into many important feminists and their work.

I didn't like this one as much as Porno, but in saying that, I did have a long break in between starting and finishing this book due to ruining my first copy.
