I read this gem in one sitting at the bookstore - it is quite short, after all. I fully intend to re-read it, though, in order to better savor it. I do wish I'd heard Beard deliver these speeches. Reading them is wonderful, though!

I first became aware of Beard due to her marvelous clapbacks at Twitter trolls and other cretins who have tried to silence her. I feel a sense of connection to her due to our shared experience with misogynistic Internet abuse.

I cannot recommend Beard and her work strongly enough to anyone who has any interest at all in the treatment of women in the public eye.
