“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 New York Times Bestseller
Best Book of the Year: NPR • Boston Globe • Newsweek • Time Out New York • Oprah.com • Miami Herald • Book Riot • Buzz Feed • Globe and Mail (Toronto) • The Root • Shelf Awareness
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.

كتاب جميل يوضح لنا الثقافة الأمريكية و المشاكل التي تواجهها النساء و بالخصوص اصحاب البشره السوداء لان الكتابه روكسان غاي تعبر عن تجاربها الشخصية و التي بالتأكيد توضح لنا مشاكل النظام و العنصريه التي لا تزال موجوده ، واعتقد ان الكتابه لديها نقاط مهمه جداً و مهاره في نقد الأفلام و اتفق معها بالأغلب

En lågmäld och kultiverad men stark röst som ger egna feministiska infallsvinklar på det samtida.

Although there are many very similar books out there I still feel that this collection of essays was captivating and unique. It is not a manifesto in any way but manages to characterize institutional sexism from various perspectives in short story format.

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

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

An absolute must-read for basically anyone who is interested in equality or just generally doesn't want to be a complete d*ck. Roxanne Gay speaks of feminism, race, equality and popular culture in informative and touching ways. Her writing is as beautiful as it is witty. Some parts were getting to be a bit boring, if she wrote about a movie that I hadn't seen, but even then she is able to get the point across. The reader's voice is very pleasing to listen to, even for a duration of almost 12 hours.
