It's a Jungle Out There: The Feminist Survival Guide to Politically Inhospitable Environments by Amanda Marcotte
3.0
Well, I never got around to reading each and every essay, but it's due back at the library and I can't renew it. Not sure whether or not to give it 2 or 3 stars - wish I could do 2 1/2, maybe.
I did like it. There were some very funny bits. I particularly liked her essay about the "nice guy." (will add in some quotes if/when I have the book in front of me.)
There is some controversy around the book because of the publisher's use of racist Tarzan-like imagery (white woman saving man from dark-skinned savages). From what I recall, the publisher had meant it to be read ironically. (I skimmed a few blogs about this issue several months ago, and don't recall all the details - do a google search if you're interested.)
