Bad Feminist

I really appreciated a lot of the observations Roxane Gay makes in this book. She is particularly adept at being critical while acknowledging her own involvement in problematic topics (for example, she critiques music, movies, and TV shows while sharing her own enjoyment of them). This book made me think a lot – about topics I'd never considered before as well as about issues on which I disagree with Gay. I will say that I'm not a huge fan of essay collections, so while I found the writing interesting, it was often hard for me to stay engaged (but I think that's a very specific personal preference and not necessarily a problem with the book).
