More a collection of blog posts than a manifesto,

This review is from: King Kong Theory (Paperback)
Despentes' thoughts about women's lives are the kind hardly ever heard in either the general media or common discourse, even though her experiences are ones many women will share. This says much more about how our media and discourse is seriously lacking in promoting women's perspectives than because her commentary is revolutionary. For some, this collection of essays may be revealing and inspiring in making them re-evaluate their place in the world or thoughts about other women. The book is a quick read and doesn't pad the discussion.
As a book, however, there is not a great deal to it. It struck me that these chapters would make a great collection of online essays as it is not a particularly cohesive work. I rather wish that these discussions could, in fact, be found online so as to inspire more commentary on the ideas raised in it.

Fearless Feminism,
By Kaspar Hauser (rural iniquity) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Kong Theory (Paperback)
Required of girls who are fickle about feminism as a result of feeling un-feminine. Despentes is a staunch character. This is a vital work.
