Book Reviews of To Be Real: Telling the Truth and Changing the Face of Feminism

Book Review: Is this relevant now?
Summary: 3 Stars

This book includes Naomi Wolf and bell hooks. How are these women supposed to be the voices of a new generation? Of third-wave feminism? They simply are not. They have contributed enormously to women's political voice, and we thank them for it. But writing this review as a woman in her 20s, they are not my generation and they are not the voices of my generation. We have new battles and choices to make, and we have to respond or uphold to the old ones in our own "new" way as well. Not theirs.
