33 - Bitches, Bimbos, and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls Guide to Female Stereotypes 2 months ago

This is an excellent and easy to read primer for anyone wanting to look into the stereotyping of women. A variety of categories women are lumped into are examined, illustrated, and explained in all their sexist histories. Using biting sarcasm touched with humor, the Guerrilla Girls explain how stereotypes have affected women though time. Tips for how to overcome or remove stereotypes are also scattered throughout the book. For a light yet revealing introduction to feminism and the stereotyping of woman, you can’t find a better and more entertaining book. The last few pages also feature tools to create your own feminist subversions and a thorough bibliography for further research.
