Bad Feminist: Essays

"It’s no surprise that Roxane Gay — author, essayist and sharp observer of everything in pop culture we’re supposed to be too cool to like — has written such a winning book. Now in its ninth printing, this best-selling collection of essays manages to be both a cultural biography and a deeply personal story of identity. At its best, the book offers Gay’s distinctive voice as both shield and a weapon against social norms just begging for examination. Perfectly imperfect, Gay is an unforgettable voice, coming at just the right time."
