Book Reviews of To Be Real: Telling the Truth and Changing the Face of Feminism
Book Review: A very important work on Third Wave Feminism
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a sociologist who is currently teaching an intriguing course on Feminist Thought. I adopted this book as a required text and told my class on the first day that this will be the best and most important text we will read. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the essays in this book. Its most important contribution is to present issues that third-wave feminists are concerned about. I really enjoyed Manifesta and other books on third-wave feminism but To Be Real is definitely the best. Walker is an incredible editor and her introduction is fantastic. Angela Davis does a great job at the end of delineating this book's important contributions. If you have any interest in understanding contemporary feminist issues then I beseech you to read this book! Just to let you know, the author is Alice Walker's daughter and is a very very important thought-leader in contemporary feminist thought. I hope to meet her one day and convey how much I gained from reading this seminal (I mean ovarian) work.
