Oh, I forgot. I knew I was reading a good book! I'm also reading:
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Roseannearchy-Dispatches-Farm-Roseanne-Barr/dp/B00509COIW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376622556&sr=8-1&keywords=Rosannearchy"]Amazon.com: Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm: Roseanne Barr: Books[/ame]
I didn't expect to like this book but I'm loving it! It's a memoir by Rosanne Barr that focuses a lot on:
-her experience growing up as a fat child
-her many years as part of a lesbian feminist collective (even though she's straight, she has a lesbian sister- and they are politically aligned)
-her fierce feminism and living outside the box
It has some very interesting and moving stories and also is very funny! I tend to prefer reading books on feminist theory by lesbians but Rosanne really holds her own. Surprisingly enjoyable read.
