Anne Helen Petersen
One of NPR’s best books of 2017.
“Petersen's gloriously bumptious, brash ode to nonconforming women suits the needs of this dark moment. Her careful examination of how we eviscerate the women who confound or threaten is crucial reading if we are ever to be better.” (Rebecca Traister, New York Times best-selling author of All the Single Ladies)
From celebrity gossip expert and BuzzFeed culture writer Anne Helen Petersen comes an accessible, analytical look at how female celebrities are pushing the boundaries of what it means to be an "acceptable" woman.
You know the type: the woman who won't shut up, who's too brazen, too opinionated - too much. She's the unruly woman, and she embodies one of the most provocative and powerful forms of womanhood today.
In Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud, Anne Helen Petersen uses the lens of "unruliness" to explore the ascension of powerhouses like Serena Williams, Hillary Clinton, Nicki Minaj, and Kim Kardashian, exploring why the public loves to love (and hate) these controversial figures. With its brisk, incisive analysis, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud is a conversation-starting book on what makes and breaks celebrity today.
“Must-read list.” (Entertainment Weekly)

Critic reviews
"Petersen interrogates our culture with precision and nuance." (NPR, Best Books of 2017)
"Supremely thoughtful...snappy and compelling...[Petersen’s essays] highlight the paradoxical expectations American culture places on women, in particular, the mixed messages it sends: the 'you can do anything', rubbing awkwardly against the 'you can’t do everything'." (Megan Garber, The Atlantic)
"A timely and essential read...Petersen’s analytical skills are as vigorous [and] her prose and reporting are entertaining." (Keziah Weir, ELLE)

the only thing I could do without.. the Hilary chapter. I'm a strident feminist and bernie supporter and if you zoom out and look at the establishment and where Hilary was coming from the entire chapter can be dismissed. I was all for a first woman president. but not her. so that chapters analysis is a zero for me. Peterson could have done a me too chapter. replaced Clinton's chapter with Christine blasey Ford. I'm sure she could have done it justice.
very insightful!!!
