Feminist essays are becoming a popular genre of writing
lately, and some are definitely better than others. I, personally, would put this in the better
category. Her topics are all clearly
explained and some of them are so obvious and yet things that I have never
considered. She makes clear-headed,
hard-hitting points and when the humor is on target, the writing is
amazing. At times, though, the humor
somehow undercuts the point she is making.
For example, we need more females in STEM positions so, as she jokingly
suggests, they can perfect the dosage for pot brownies. Obviously, I get that this is a joke, but
still… Regardless, this may be one of my
favorite current essay collections. I
received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest
review.
