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. |
That looks really good, I may have to get a copy when the price comes down a bit.
I've just started reading ' The unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry'. It's different to what I usually read as I'm a non fiction person mainly. So far it's enjoyable.
