ecn 's review for:
Women and Other Monsters: Building a New Mythology
by Jess Zimmerman
emotional
informative
slow-paced
More of a memoir than a story about how women are monsters in society. It also felt very ~white feminism~ despite a mention of extra challenges faced by nonwhite women. It also took the author until basically the end of the book to even mention (and define) Intersectionality.
I was hoping for essays more surrounding how women are shaped into monsters/how monsters were symbols for women/the women monsters themselves but it ended up being more memoir and shallow analysis of *Greek* monsters.
