Book description
Roxane Gay's New York Times bestselling debut collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism--a modern classic from one of the most prominent voices of her generation--is now available in a beautifully designed 10th anniversary edition, with a stunning foil cover and hot pink sprayed edges, the perfect collector's edition for her fans "Pink is my favorite color. I used to say my favorite color was black to be cool, but it is pink--all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink. I read Vogue, and I'm not doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. I once live-tweeted the September issue."In these funny and insightful essays, Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture.Roxane Gay's groundbreaking Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better, from a writer whose mark on our culture continues to be made.
