“ Who would I be if I lived in a world that didn’ t hate women? ”
Hailed by the Washington Post as “ one of the most visible and successful feminists of her generation, ” Jessica Valenti has been leading the national conversation on gender and politics for over a decade. Now, in a memoir that Publishers Weekly calls “ bold and unflinching, ” Valenti explores the toll that sexism takes on women’ s lives, from the everyday to the existential.
In the tradition of writers like Joan Didion and Mary Karr, Sex Object is a profoundly moving tour de force that is bound to shock those already familiar with Valenti’ s work, and enthrall those who are just finding it.
