I Call Myself A Feminist

Full Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8te-WLP2-jg

There were several essays that I really enjoyed and I thought, “Wow!” when I finished them, but the majority of the essays in this collection were just okay. This isn't a bad book. It's just very basic. I think it might be good for someone who is new to feminism, someone who is trying to find their way. At the beginning, there were several solid essays in a row and I thought to myself that I'd love to thrust this into the hands of all those people who say we don't need feminism. At the same time, the topics covered throughout the book covered a very wide variety. I thought the ordering was strange since it just jumped around, and one essay oftentimes had nothing to do with the other essays around it. I think the book could benefit from some better organization. Additionally, the book added in so many pages of “feminist” quotes, which made me feel like it was trying too hard. Some of these quotes came from people like Tina Fey, Amy Schumer, and Joss Whedon, and that did not impress me at all.
