false 390778 1 <div>Feminism isn't dead. It just isn't very cool anymore. Enter <i>Full Frontal Feminism,</i> a book that embodies the forward-looking messages that author Jessica Valenti propagates on her popular website, Feministing.com. <br><br>Covering a range of topics, including pop culture, health, reproductive rights, violence, education, relationships, and more, Valenti provides young women a primer on why feminism matters. <br><br>Valenti knows better than anyone that young women need a smart-ass book that deals with real-life issues in a style they can relate to. No rehashing the same old issues. No belaboring where today's young women have gone wrong. Feminism should be something young women feel comfortable with, something they can own. <i>Full Frontal Feminism</i> is sending out the message to readers &#8212; yeah, you're feminists, and that's actually pretty frigging cool.</div> 380389 27 3 2007 Full Frontal Feminism: A Young Woman's Guide to Why Feminism Matters total:593|5:159|4:208|3:157|2:56|1:13| 593 2223 1094 168 4 7 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 15 14:57:49 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 15 14:58:14 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 6 false false Sun May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 18:34:43 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 19 07:26:50 -0800 2008 once more...]]> 1 3 false false Fri Aug 17 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Feb 24 13:36:15 -0800 2008 Fri Jun 12 19:58:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 3 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri May 18 10:06:40 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 17 17:52:41 -0700 2007 feministing.com but felt the book was trying too hard to be cool and hip.
