Bad Feminist

Essays

Bad Feminist is a collection of essays by Roxane Gay examining feminism, popular culture, politics, race, gender, and personal experience. Gay reflects on the contradictions of identifying as a feminist while recognizing imperfections in oneself and in broader feminist movements. The essays connect cultural criticism with memoir, considering how films, television, books, and public events shape contemporary ideas about identity and equality.
