F 'em!: Goo Goo, Gaga, and Some Thoughts on Balls by Jennifer Baumgardner
2.0
I really couldn't get into this book.
For me it was just to much of the Authors self-presentation and "Do you know who I am and what I've done for Feminism? If you haven't heard of this book I wrote and that rape documentary I made, let me tell you about it on every second page".
And to much of what the right kind of Feminist looks like.
This really got onto my nerves.
I did enjoy the interviews, although they could have used a bit more of what the subject had to say and less of the authors opinion. Less Questions that are more statement and 3x as long as the answers.
I guess if you are really involved in the US American Feminist movement and know (of) all the people in the book with its "When I met this feminist, who wrote this and that book..." anecdotes, its much more enjoyable.
