Covering topics ranging from financial independence to resting bitch face, and from workplace harassment to online trolls, this collection will answer your questions and validate your experiences. Poets, essayists, activists, actors, and professors explore race, class, and culture to paint an intersectional portrait of modern feminism. You'll hear from early feminist voices, seminal thinkers on gender, and contemporary advocates for women's rights. The pieces in this book are by turns refreshing, provocative, moving, and hilari...ous, as diverse as the women who wrote them. These authors prove that feminism is for everyone and every day. It demands to be discussed, and it calls for many voices. join the conversation."--Back cover.
