TWs: 2016 Election, Misogyny, Abelism, Racism, Sexism

Perfect for: Hillary supporters, Never Trumpers, feminists, liberal activists


Nasty Women is a collection of essays that reflect the anger, fear, and confusion liberal women felt in 2016 when Hillary Clinton, perhaps the most qualified presidential candidates in history, lost the election to Donald Trump, a racist misogynist without any political experience.

The book was published in 2018, so it more intensely than I think it would have four years ago. We now know the painful significance of Trump's win now that we didn't know then -- the mishandling of the Covid19 Pandemic, the January 6th insurrection, and the overturning of Roe v Wade.
