“Roxane Gay is so great at weaving the intimate and personal with what is most bewildering and upsetting at this moment in culture. She is always looking, always thinking, always passionate, always careful, always right there.” — Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?

A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched cultural observers of her generation
In these funny and insightful essays, Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture.
Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better, coming from one of our most interesting and important cultural critics.

The point of this book is that you can be a feminist even if you don't fit the stereotype of a feminist. A quote she quotes in her last essay (which really makes sense of the whole collection) is "feminists are just women who don't want to be treated like shit", and in this collection of essays she basically just looks at the world and gives her take on it, and then questions if her take is the "right" take for a feminist, and then decides if she cares. (Lol) There's a lot of this that discusses race (which I think is important since modern feminism often ignores the concerns of minorities like black women), other inequalities, and her own life and experiences more than many people might expect or enjoy. I enjoyed it though. I felt like it was an authentic attempt at putting what it's like to figure out how you feel about the world as a woman, on a page. She's funny, there's lots of pop culture references, and she's empathetic and honestly emotional. Narrator was great too!

Niks feminisme, het gaat vooral over de schrijfster zelf. Misleidende titel.

Meer een 2.5 sterren. Vond het niet echt gaan over feminisme maar meer over ras verschillen

Niet door heen te komen. Ik vraag me af waarneer het nou echt gaat over feminisme.

Dit niveau van taalgebruik is bizar goed. Niet voor niets professor in the literatuur. Ik vond haar boek Hunger erg goed. Iets wat iedereen zou moeten lezen! Een cadeautje aan je eigen persoonlijke ontwikkeling.
