Bad Feminist

By Roxane Gay

Categories: Politics & Social Sciences

Bad Feminist (2014) is a collection of essays by Roxane Gay about gender, race, politics and popular culture. Gay writes about her own life and about books, films, music and public events, from The Hunger Games and Django Unchained to sexual violence and reproductive rights. Embracing the label of a bad feminist, she argues that feminism can accommodate contradictions and imperfection, and examines how culture shapes ideas about women.

• Dua Lipa: “Bad Feminist has been on my dream book club list since we launched. I read Bad Feminist when it first came out in 2014... and it was really formative for me.”
