This is a collection of essays on the complexities of feminism in everyday life. Most of them are built around pop topics, movies, music or recent events. While some commenters apparently decided to find that shallow, I think it's a very valuable approach. I'm sure these people can find enough highbrow texts, the actual value is in the personal approach that Gay uses to navigate the maze of feminism and interests, events and decisions that are constantly relevant in everyone's life. Gay calls herself a "bad feminist" since she likes shallow things, but actually I think that is overly humble. She is a great feminist, and is way ahead of most people in how far she has thought through an issue. This results in something that is more than "Lean In" is good or bad, but an unraveling of the different strings entangled into the discussion of an issue. Very recommendable, and relatively quick read.
