I read this for one of my Women and Gender Studies classes and there was just so much yes. We had to read it really quickly and there were like over 100 pages assigned a week, but it didn't feel like it was dragging on. It felt like something I would just pick up and read rather than an assigned reading. I loved how candid Valenti was. How approachable and relatable. I know some people would disagree with all the swearing, but it really didn't even bother me. This book was probably my favorite feminist piece I've read so far, and trust me I've read quite a number if you include articles.
