Laurie Penny is a force of nature. She writes for the Guardian and the New Statesman and her articles are as academic as they are passionate. Meat Market is really a collection of four powerful essays addressing sexuality, fat, gender, and housework. This is not some call-to-arms rant-fest, this is post-graduate dissertational stuff. So don't just read this. Listen up. Pay attention. Take notes.*
"Penny has been criticised for embellishing her eyewitness accounts."
"A few things don’t quite add up. Penny joins fellow Zero author Nina Power in arguing for the relevance of Shulamith Firestone. Yet, despite Penny’s frequent recourse to Firestone and other second-wave thinkers like Juliet Mitchell, she refers to ‘second-wave feminism’ as if it was a monolithic chorus singing the praises of essentialism rather than the flawed but discordant rumble of emerging consciousness to which a thoughtful review of the period attests. Meat Market is a bit too derivative of Power’s excellent One-Dimensional Woman at times."
