Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America by

5.0

I'm going to start by saying that I actually read this. I can't believe I have to put that, but based on most of the star ratings, with no written reviews, on a book that isn't out until next week, it is clear that many have not. Ironic considering the point of the essays in this book. (And yes, I do believe that 5 star reviews by people who don't read the book are also an issue. I hate when people do that just because they "love" the author or topic.)

This book is phenomenal. As with most essay questions, some are better than others, but all will make you think. This isn't always the most comfortable book to read, even as a woman. YMMV based on where you fall along many spectrums (race, gender, sexual preference, etc.,) but it is important that we read books that make us uncomfortable. Going out of your comfort zone is often how one learns, so read hard books once in awhile.

This comes out next Tuesday (Oct 3, 2017) and you should pick it up. I recommend the paper version as my Kindle version is now full of more highlights and bookmarks than anything I've read since college. I'll be picking up a paper copy for my bookshelf.

Thank you to the publisher and Edelweiss for an advanced reader copy.
