I Call Myself A Feminist The View from TwentyFive Women Under Thirty Victoria Pepe Rachel Holmes Amy Annette Martha Mosse Alice Stride Stride 9780349006550 Books

I don't read a lot of non-fiction, in fact, the last one was Yes, Please by Amy Poehler some months ago. But when I was offered I Call Myself a Feminist to review, it instantly caught my attention. What appealed to me was that it had essays by so many different women all under the age of 30. Being under 30 myself I thought I could learn a lot from all these women and I was not wrong.

Each essay handles a different topic related to feminist. Some are personal stories, others are reflections about what being a feminist means nowadays, some state facts, others give reasons why it is still important to be a feminist but they all are enlightening, honest and enriching. I learnt something from every and each one of these women. They made me realise the importance of calling myself a feminist and left me with the feeling that I need to do more, to speak up and contribute.

In fact, let me share with you an excerpt of Martha Mosse's essay called What's in a Word:

"I cal myself a feminist because I am proud of what feminists have done. Proud of the women of the past from all over the world who have campaigned and fought for the benefit of those coming after them. I call myself a feminist because I believe women deserve to be treated equally to men."

This summarizes very well the idea behind the book. We owe it to them and to ourselves to call ourselves feminists.

I really think this book is too important to miss. Powerful and empowering, easy to read and all in all brilliant.

I Call Myself A Feminist The View from TwentyFive Women Under Thirty Victoria Pepe Rachel Holmes Amy Annette Martha Mosse Alice Stride Stride 9780349006550 Books Reviews

This was a great introductory book into what feminism is, and where to see it in our society. It never went too deep given the format it was written in, but it definitely gave me an interesting read and thoughts to ponder throughout. Some parts I connected to more than others, but all of it was important.
Wow, what a powerful set of essays written by some extremely smart women. It's great in a day and age where feminism seems to be viewed in a negative way, to have it written down just how important it is, and how much it affects our everyday lives. Things are still not equal - and that needs to be addressed. Women and men should read this book - it'll change your perspective on so many things!
