520    A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and 
       feminism from one of the most-watched young cultural 
       observers of her generation, Roxane Gay. "Pink is my 
       favorite color. I used to say my favorite color was black 
       to be cool, but it is pink all shades of pink. If I have 
       an accessory, it is probably pink. I read Vogue, and I'm 
       not doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. I 
       once live-tweeted the September issue." In these funny and
       insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey
       of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color 
       (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through 
       culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) 
       and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, 
       Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of
       an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to 
       understand herself and our society, but also one of our 
       culture. Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look 
       at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we
       are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we 
       still need to do better.
