Here We Are Feminism for the Real World Kelly Jensen Books

Book Riot editor and Stacked writer Kelly Jensen has pulled together a collection of essays representing the many and diverse facets of feminism, creating an intersectional introduction to the movement. Interspersed with the longer essays are short, fun pieces, such as feminist music playlists, a list of “Ten Amazing Scientists (Who Also Happen to Be Women)”, as well as songs, poetry, and a list of the best girl friendships in fiction. While straight-up essays are the most common type of piece, Wendy Xu’s entry “The Princess and the Witch” is in the form of a comic, and there are several interviews as well. Most of the contributions are original, though some such as Roxane Gay’s “Bad Feminism: Take Two” and Amandla Stenberg’s “Don’t Cash Crop My Corn Rows” are either reproductions or adaptations of previously published material. There were only a few things I thought were notably absent, such as a piece about affirmative consent to complement the discussion of rape culture. The chapter on romance and sexuality could also have used an essay about asexuality and aromanticism. Overall, however, I was pleased with the diversity of this introduction to feminism, and would heartily recommend it.

Here We Are Feminism for the Real World Kelly Jensen Books Reviews

Inspirational. Educational. Intersectional. Both serious and fun in all the right spots.

The book is rather obviously written for a teenage audience but I found it to be a useful read even as a woman in my late twenties. The essays by various activists, writers, and artists are really excellent and uplifting and empowering.
I would have killed for this book when I was 14. Now I am recommending it to every woman I know who has a teenage daughter. Every single essay in this collection is excellent. The voices are diverse, and even I am learning from them. Highly, highly recommended to anyone who wonders about modern feminism.
A wonderful collection of personal stories, illustrations, and playlists by feminists and for everyone. Accessible, touching, and informative. Should be on everyone's bookshelf!
This is an essential read for any teen reader wanting to know more about feminism or wanting to explore different views of feminism. The scrapbook format does well to highlight the mix of formats, from essays to comics to artwork to lists to informational sections that define words we hear when we talk about feminism. The mix of formats and of voices will keep readers engaged - there's something for everyone here. I was very impressed with the diversity of voices (along the lines of race, ethnicity, ability, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) that are collected here.

There's a lot of talk about feminism going on right now, with people marching in support of women's rights and the many issues that we're discussing in this country. Hand this collection to young adult readers to introduce them to feminism or expand on what they already know and think.
still reading since it has thoughtful essays that deserve thoughtful consideration. I purchased a copy for my daughter since we come from such a different perspective. I had a boss tell me he would pay a man more for the same work. She's not had to face that. This book reminds me of how far we have come and how far we still need to go since now it is not overt discrimination.
This book is such a necessary read. I saw myself in some of the essays and learned new things about feminism that I hadn't considered. I think the editor Kelly Jensen did a great job gathering all these different types of entries into a well crafted and cohesive handbook on feminism. It is a very welcoming and thoughtful exploration of feminism. I highly recommend the physical book because if you're anything like me, you'll be highlighting/bookmarking things to come back to later.
I can't wait to share this with friends and pass it around! It's also going in my "for when you're older" shelf for nieces and goddaughters because it is an essential read for any person moving through the world in a perceived-as-female body. BUT, I'm also going to make sure any nephews and godsons read it, too, because feminism is for everyone.
