- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Must read!!!! Every essay was a thought provoking perspective on intersectional feminism.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Overall, this is a good collection of essays that bring out a diverse array of voices on feminism in the Trump era. My favorite was the essay on Trump's pathology, which helps to place his actions into a wider context about mental illness and domestic violence. Worth the read and certainly a book that will make one think and likely feel uncomfortable.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America, edited by Samhita Mukhopadhyay and Kate Harding, contains essays from professors, journalists, authors, and activists dealing with the wake of Trump's election. They offer advice on how to remain engaged and what to do next, how to face the reality of America rather than the teleology of progress, when and how to discuss Trump's antics with children, and more. Beyond the practical advice, this volume helps just to read these women's honest, firsthand accounts and find people articulate the aftershock of the election or offer insight or a glimmer of hope through tentative plans for what to do next. Even though we're now in our 466th day with this madman, Mukhopadhyay and Harding's collection helps.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received an eGalley of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
"Nasty Woman" became a feminist rallying cry brought about after (and during) the Third Presidential Debate of 2016. It's bold, angry, and kind of fun. But on Election Night, many women watched in horror and heartbreak as DJT was elected President and they feared what this new administration meant for them. NASTY WOMEN is a chorus of diverse voices and experiences: Immigrant, native, women with disabilities, queer and trans women, all with various ethnicities and religious adherence. No issue is unrelated in feminism, and the reflections of each writer address the multitude of causes worthy of our time. By the last page, one thing is clear: We need a multifaceted, intersectional, INCLUSIVE feminist movement, and all hands are on deck to resist further damage to our democracy. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Best for: Those looking for some inspiration in a variety of voices.In a nutshell: Leading feminist writers from diverse backgrounds share their thoughts on different aspects of what the election of Trump means.Line that sticks with me: I’m writing this while on vacation, so I don’t have my book with me. But I underlined a ton and will be keeping the book to reread some essays.Why I chose it: I saw authors I admire (Rebecca Skolnit! Jessica Valenti! Samantha Irby!)Review: It’s impressive to pull together this many essays from so many great writers so quickly after the shit show that was the 2016 election. The authors look at a variety of issues, including moving to a red state, the failure of white women, the exclusion of trans women, the role of class, how black women were included in the Clinton campaign, and more.My least favorite essay was probably from Sarah Jaffe - it seemed a bit off tonally and felt a little Bernie Bro-y to me. I think I get what she was going for, but the execution didn’t work for me. Meanwhile, Samantha Irby’s article about moving to be with her wife and not being entirely sure how engaged she wanted to be in figuring out what the white people she encountered thought of her was a great read.I also enjoyed the final essay of the book, by Nicole Chung. The holidays are here, and I’m about to spend a week with some folks who may not have voted for Trump, but who tend to agree with a lot of his policies. Ms Chung looks at the obligations we have to talk to those who feel that way.Even with the one essay that I wasn’t a huge fan of (and it wasn’t bad, I just didn’t enjoy it), I still highly recommend this essay collection, especially if you need a reminder that things didn’t just get bad on November 9, 2016 or if you need to some inspiration to keep fighting the good fight.
