I Call Myself a Feminist: The View From Twenty-Five Women Under Thirty, edited by Victoria Pepe, Rachel Holmes, Amy Annette, Alice Stride & Martha Mosse (review copy) - So why did we title this book I Call Myself a Feminist?Because this book - for everyone, everywhere - is a statement of intent. Because the word 'feminist' remains under siege, cast aside by some for being too inclusive and broad and because there are many who refuse to identify with it. Because 'I call myself a feminist' is an active, personal and powerful phrase.
We hop that there is at least one essay here that makes your heart beat in recognition, one that you'll want to thrust in front of your friends and family and bellow: 'THIS! This is EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY!'
Young feminists - whether you call yourself one or not - this is for you.
This one's for us. From the blurb.
