I liked this collection of essays, I liked how the author wrote, how she came across, her all too human thoughts and ideas. She's an interesting person with an interesting view of life. At least, I find it interesting as I come from a privileged middle class white background. I grew up and live is a largely middle class white religious area. I am not one of those people who can say "Don't worry my best friend is gay/black...." even if I wanted to use that pathetic excuse for saying something deeply homophobic or racist. I can't say as I really thought this collection was much about feminism, I think it addressed issues on racism much more deeply then any feminist ideals. These were not new thoughts, not awe inspiring or revolutionary but they were heart felt and personal. It is depressing to see how far we have to go to gain equality as a human race. Whether based on gender, race, religion; there is still so much we can't seem to solve, no matter how much money or resources we throw at it. Nor does there seem to be any solutions to solve these massive differences in opinion or find a way to live with those opposing views. I like to be positive and believe that humanity will learn to live together. There always seems to be hope somewhere. I choose to think it will prevail. In the meantime.....I will educate myself, I will try to be a good example and maybe pay a little more attention to my daily choices.
