A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and
feminism from one of the most-watched young cultural
observers of her generation, Roxane
Gay. “Pink is my favorite color. I
used to say my favorite color was black to be cool,
but it is pink—all shades of pink. If I have an accessory,
it is probably pink. I read Vogue, and I’m not
doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. I once
live-tweeted the September issue.” In these funny and
insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey
of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of
color (The Help) while also taking readers on a
ride through culture of the last few years (Girls,
Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of
feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that
emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman
continually growing to understand herself and our society,
but also one of our culture. Bad Feminist is
a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the
culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring
call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better.
