Product Description:
Feminism isn't dead. It just isn't very cool anymore. Enter Full Frontal Feminism, a book that embodies the forward-looking messages that author Jessica Valenti propagates on her popular website, Feministing.com.
Covering a range of topics, including pop culture, health, reproductive rights, violence, education, relationships, and more, Valenti provides young women a primer on why feminism matters.
Valenti knows better than anyone that young women need a smart-ass book that deals with real-life issues in a style they can relate to. No rehashing the same old issues. No belaboring where today's young women have gone wrong. Feminism should be something young women feel comfortable with, something they can own. Full Frontal Feminism is sending out the message to readers — yeah, you're feminists, and that's actually pretty frigging cool.

Rating:  - Primer to Feminism 101
Full Frontal Feminism serves as a good primer for lay audiences or young women who are new to Feminism.

Most important, Jessica makes the personal political and imbues her own experiences throughout the broader themes of the book. Her approach is inclusive; she ... Read More
Rating: - recommend for every 18 yr old
This was a book I should have read four years ago. If you are trying to make your way through the jungle and tangle of relationships and sex without coming out the other side as a prude or too promiscuous, this is a book you should read (because guess what--you're neither.) If you've ever wondered what a feminist looks like, or what one actually believes, or whether they are all angry, this is a book you should read.
If you've ever worried that you were too fat, too stupid, or too ugly, and ... Read More

If you are looking for the conspiracy theory behind feminism, you may also want to read 'Cruel Hoax' by Henry Makow, PhD.
'Cruel Hoax : Feminism and the new world order' is a wake up call for women who blindly follow feminism and everybody else who think otherwise.
