“What A Teenager’s Guide to Feminism does best is recognizing the individual inside a collective. In the book, the “I” is always at the center, not in the look-at-the-belly-button way, but as the means to express that each woman experiences feminism in her own unique manner. It may be by rejecting the roles assigned to her, by supporting her sisters, by writing her own story, or by stating her s*xual preferences in a loud voice. The young writers tell other growing women how we react to oppression and abuse, how we raise ourselves and others, how we experience love and s*x. Most importantly, they reaffirm our commitment to stand next to each other to protect all of us from a 5000-year-old culture designed to use us as doormats. In true feminist tradition, A Teenager’s Guide to Feminism will help raise a generation of strong women.”

Thanks for the awesome review, Lisbeth Coimon and Citron Review!
