This book made me furious. And I was already mad. But that’s part of the reason it was written in the first place. There’s so much going on this is world that’s beyond infuriating! And the only way to really deal with it, both on personal and societal levels, is by being as informed as possible. If you aren’t incensed by most, if not every essay in this book – and please forgive the cliché – you aren’t paying attention. Scathing, whip-smart, exhaustively researched, and fucking funny, this book is here – Erin Gibson is here – to inform and educate us and call us to the front lines of already raging battles to change this breathtakingly messed up country, one chunky necklace and one misogynist at a time. And the thing is, with women like her helping to lead the charge (and pointing us to many other amazing women doing their damndest as well), I think we have a chance. Also, follow her on Instagram. Again, you’ll just get mad (and often laugh while you’re raging). But we’re long past the point where any of us, especially those of us privileged by any number of factors, can afford to look away.
