Being a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: She's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of "the black friend", as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel ("isn't that...white people music?"); she's been called "uppity" for having an opinion in the workplace; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. The. Time.

In The Guilty Feminist, Deborah Frances-White reassures us that we don't have to be perfect to be a force for meaningful change. Exploring big issues of identity, equality, intersectionality, and the current feminist agenda, she explodes the myth of the model activist and offers a realistic path....

A definite mood booster
This book had the feel of a group of friends sitting down to share their stories and insights with me. And like the best of friends, I felt better for having listened to them. This book leaves me feeling pumped up and ready to go be fat in the world, unapologetically. And to wear whatever I like. And to tell the fat phobic doctor that the solution to my sore throat is not weight loss! this book was a great choice and I do not regret buying it or listening to it. For fats by fats.

So Many Stories
Hearing this in audible was kind of funny since whenever I heard "fat babe" it sounded like "frappe" and I pretty much adored all of the stories except for one. I really appreciated the mention of asexual people.
