I never know how I'm going to feel about overtly 'feminist' writings; so much of my idea of 'feminism' seems to be different from what the word has become. I've always felt comfortable with the idea that people are different, genders can be different, but the lines can blur in all sorts of strange places and one set of chromosomes isn't better than the other.

I enjoyed the monologues, though they did make me feel vaguely uncomfortable in places; at times they were too personal, too sharp, for me to be able to approach them without getting stung. Regardless, though, I liked them for encompassing and celebrating the various sides of being feminine.

Glad I read it. Wouldn't mind seeing them performed.
