Bad Feminist
Permission to hold the politics and still like the wrong things, from a writer done with consistency.
Roxane Gay’s essay collection made room for the reader who holds the politics and still likes the wrong music. She writes about race, gender, publishing and pop culture while refusing the demand that a feminist be consistent, and the honesty about her own contradictions is what made the book land.

My Monthly Read for March is Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay. It’s an essay collection that feels like a conversation with your smartest, funniest, wisest friend who’s always prepared to work things out alongside you. In some places, it’s genuinely hilarious. Others, deeply compassionate.
