"Anger is an energy." --John Lydon "If you're not angry, you're not paying attention." --Unknown As Rebecca Traister points out in this book, women are constantly discouraged from experiencing or expressing anger. It's unattractive; it's not received well. Female politicians who dare expr...
Feminism in Cold Storage

A compelling book about the herstory and current state of being a single woman in the US. Some new information for me, but also referenced some books I've read before! It's exciting for me that she references books I've read. It means that I might just be catching up on the state feminism and a reas...

How women came to embrace being unmarried, and some of the marvelous things they’ve accomplished with that freedom, and how much USian society still hates all those women on their own. Library copy

This book is stocked full of important information about society, government, economics, medicine, history, etc. All women should read it. Men probably won't be as interested in the subject matter, but I highly recommend it to them also.

It doesn't mean you hate men. "The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, an...

I expected a history of the single women that shaped America. Rebecca Traister's book is more than that. Highly researched, with many examples, witty personal anecdotes and a fairly number of articles and studies in the topic of women singlehood, this book is a must for any feminist of passionate ab...

(I received an ARC of this title from the publisher via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.) All the Single Ladies is not a rallying cry to singledom. Rebecca Traister doesn’t make value judgments and she isn’t here to simply sing the praises of girl power. Her focus is on the realities o...

This was fascinating! I can't believe I'm even saying this, but I was completely engrossed in this book. There is no way I would have read this if I hadn't been forced to in a challenge, but I really thought that this was fantastic.I've never really defined myself as a "feminist". I've always bel...
