claudianeureads 's review for:
Shrill
by Lindy West
This was my first read for @feministbookclubbox and I have to say it was pretty good. I may be a bit biased in my review because nonfiction and essays are not my favorite but overall I thought the book was good and had some very important messages. Lindy West describes her experiences of being a woman or as she identifies, a fat woman, in modern day society. I liked particular chapters of this book such as Lindys come to terms with seeing fat as just a descriptor and not an insult for herself and her chapter on reproductive rights and how they’ve affected her personally. The book did not stand out to be greatly because I felt that it was very repetitive and could drone on a bit, but if you are looking for a book written by a woman about feminism and what it means to her then this is the book for you.
