Think Like a Feminist is an irreverent yet rigorous primer that
unpacks over two hundred years of feminist thought. In a time when
the word feminism triggers all sorts of responses, many of them
conflicting and misinformed, Professor Carol Hay provides this
balanced, clarifying, and inspiring examination of what it truly
means to be a feminist today. She takes the reader from conceptual
questions of sex, gender, intersectionality, and oppression to the
practicalities of talking to children, navigating consent, and
fighting for adequate space on public transit, without deviating
from her clear, accessible, conversational tone. Think Like a
Feminist is equally a feminist starter kit and an advanced
refresher course, connecting longstanding controversies to today's
headlines. Think Like a Feminist takes on many of the essential
questions that feminism has risen up to answer: Is it nature or
nurture that's responsible for our gender roles and identities? How
is sexism connected to racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia,
and other forms of oppression? Who counts as a woman, and who gets
to decide? Why have men gotten away with rape and other forms of
sexual violence for so long? What responsibility do women
themselves bear for maintaining sexism? What, if anything, can we
do to make society respond to women's needs and desires? Ferocious,
insightful, practical, and unapologetically opinionated, Think Like
a Feminist is the perfect book for anyone who wants to understand
the continuing effects of misogyny in society. By exploring the
philosophy underlying the feminist movement, Carol Hay brings
today's feminism into focus, so we can deliberately shape the
feminist future.
