read for Popsugar 2018 Challenge: a book about feminism

I REALLY liked Jerkins' essay collection. "A Hunger for Men's Eyes" and "A Lotus for Michelle" were definitely my two favorite essays in the book. Jerkins details a lot of her own experience with desiring love and companionship but not receiving it, and it was really heart-wrenching. Especially when she talked about the desire for attention from men, but also her fright in sexual harassment on the street. Her letter to Michelle Obama was so beautiful, I started to tear up at the end. It's so phenomenal the impact Michelle Obama has had on so many women.
