From Jennifer Baumgardner, one of the leading voices of Third Wave
feminism, comes this provocative, thoughtful, often funny
collection of essays and interviews that offers a state of the
union on contemporary feminist issues. F'em! is a mix of old and
new essays by Baumgardner, ranging in tone from laugh-out-loud
confessional to sobering analysis. She investigates topics as
varied as purity balls, sexuality, motherhood, and shared
breastfeeding rape, reproductive rights, and the future of
feminism. The essays in F'em! are rounded out by candid one-on-one
interviews with leading feminists who have influenced Baumgardner's
perspectives,including Riot Grrrls' Kathleen Hanna, Native American
activist Winona LaDuke, transgender activist Julia Serano, and
artists like Ani DiFranco, Bjoerk, and Amy Ray. At turns intimate,
fierce, philosophical, and funny, they are an intimate window into
the minds and hearts of Third Wave pioneers. Holding it all
together is Baumgardner's insightful thinking about what it means
to be a feminist today, as she answers frequently-asked questions:
What does it mean to be a woman today? Do we even need feminism
anymore?Thought-provoking and cutting-edge, F'em! provides a
clearer and more complete understanding of feminism,its past, its
present, and its future.
