(4.5/5) I have long been frustrated with what Zeisler calls marketplace feminism, but never had the words to identify it. Touching on a range of topics across pop culture and consumer culture, this book is an in depth exploration of the capitalist exploitation of feminism and feminist ideals. While there were parts throughout I wished were more fleshed out, the author includes a section of notes and works cited at the end. I appreciated the straightforward and frank tone, and the accessibility of the writing. Not bad. I love Andi Zeisler (subscribed to her magazine for years) and she writes beautifully; she makes consistently good points that are well-substantiated. My only quibble is that many of her points aren't exactly groundbreaking--I mean, of course Dove Real Beauty is talking out of both sides of its mouth--but given the zeitgeist she can be forgiven for making them regardless. Highly recommend as an accessible read on the pluses and minuses of modern-day popular feminism. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
