Bad Feminist

Roxane Gay

Feminism has been held up to a level of perfection that no movement led by flawed humans can achieve. That is why Roxane Gay calls herself a bad feminist: she knows she is not perfect, but she still believes in gender equality. In her essays published in “Bad Feminist,” she explores the marginalization of women, particularly women of color, in contemporary politics and popular culture.
