Jessica Valenti wrote a quick, light read about feminist takes on the double standards women face in American society. It's written the way she blogs: casually, firmly, with a biting sense of humor and indignation. I think that for a particular audience this book is excellent, specifically those who want a feminist primer on the experiences of predominatly white, cisgender, straight women in America.

However, she does have a particular recurring trans* fail: she continually equates having a vagina with being a woman. This is patently untrue, and I expected better from Valenti.
