I want to always be “bold,” “rampaging” and “far past the edge of mainstream feminism,” as this Publishers Weekly review describes The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls. publishersweekly.com/978-0-8070-138… #7NecessarySins

The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls came out seven months ago and I’m as excited about it as I was when I made this on that day it came out! #7NecessarySins

“In this fed-up,rage-fueled“big fuck-you to the patriarchy,”Eltahawy thrusts “tools to fight back” into hands of women & girls:in themed chapters,Eltahawy exhorts her peers to embrace their power through energy of anger,attention seeking, profanity,ambition,power,violence & lust”

“...in themed chapters, Eltahawy exhorts her peers to embrace their power through the energy of anger, attention seeking, profanity, ambition, power, violence, and lust. She lets no one off the hook...” #7NecessarySins

“But Eltahawy’s arguments come through with as much intelligence and clarity as passion and evocative imagery; they are built on facts about racism, capitalism, and homophobia, as well as her own and others’ experiences.” #7NecessarySins

“Eltahawy not only gives frustrated women permission,but demands that they “defy,disobey&disrupt.” This bold,rampaging manifesto is far past the edge of mainstream feminism,but it’s so viscerally motivational that even those more moderately inclined may find themselves intrigued”
