This book is a very thorough review of the state of feminism today. Whether it's marches, activism, or just everyday, feminism is a huge part of the experience of women in America today. I would say that this book can sometimes read as too academic or dense, It may not be the best choice for readers who do not have a foundation in feminist ideas already, but it can definitely be an enjoyable read for those who understand the subject.

I really enjoyed a great many things about this book. Characters were fleshed out and the plot was well spaced. Some of the secondary storylines could've used a bit more page space but all in all an enjoyable read!

A very informative book about the modern feminist movement. The author split the interviewees into three different sections based on age and it was interesting to see the different approaches and viewpoints that they had based on the time period in which they grew up and their experiences. All of them agreed that younger and older feminists need to work together to further the movement though so I was glad it didn't feel divisive in that way. The book is maybe a little bit dry, but it does present a lot of good information about many feminist groups operating today and what they are trying to accomplish. I would definitely recommend it.

Modern Voices of Feminism

This book is a collection of social history interviews of women who are prominent either nationally or locally in the feminist movement. For some reason, the author restricts herself to women between the ages of 20 and 50. This is such a fascinating read that I find myself curious about what the interviews would have looked like with women who are older feminists. After all, 50 is still relatively young in general and particularly if you look at the broader history of the feminist movement. In fact, those around the age of 50 would have been children during the feminist wave of the late 1960s and early 1970s. So I would have loved to have seen interviews with the still-living women who might have been a part of that particular wave. That said, this book does give fascinating insights into the lives and minds of 25 unabashed feminists. Their individual journeys are both unique and universal. With three decades looked at, are there are definitely generational differences between how they came to feminism and how they approach it now. I like how the book looks at feminism’s past, present, and future.

With the #MeToo movement, women's marches, pink hats, and media leaders like Samantha Bee, feminism and all that it means is at the forefront of national consciousness quite often. As it well should be, because these issues matter to more than just over the 50% of the population that women are.

Feminism has been a subject that has had my interest for some years, hearing about the glass ceiling and movements like #metoo. I've never done a lot of reading on it, but I want to change that. This book is definitely one to pick up if you are looking for the stories behind feminists and how they are putting their voice and others into the world.

The book is seperated by generation. We hear stories from women in their forties, thirties and twenties. The author decided to do this because of the events and time they were born in that influences how they are dealing with sharing feminism. The older generation was new to computers and the internet and the younger generation has been impacted a lot by 9/11. I though this separation was smart to integrate. When reading the stories, I do notice that I can imagine the time these women grew up in easier, which make me understand them better.

While reading the interviews, I encountered a lot of different experiences and working grounds of showing feminism: abortion, racism, education, politics, law, abuse, rape. This shows that feminism is not just one thing, but consists of every aspect of life for women.

I consider this book highly inspirational. Hearing how these people set up all these mediums to tell their story is incredible, and motivates me in general in life. How these people put other people's concerns and issues in front of their own is amazing.

As someone who is interested in feminism and doesn't know a lot about what is going on, I found this a great book to get more knowledge. A lot of people you get familiar with and a lot of companies, movements, blogs, magazines, charities, and more to search more about. If you want to do more research on feminism and you don't know where to start, this is a great beginning.

This was a strong and interesting read, although I preferred Feminists Don't Wear Pink as a collection - I just felt like it flowed better and was more in-tune with my own ideas and educated me further on the topic.

I really liked this book, especially as it was various women and ages was included. What else is that it coveres a lot of different themes as well as intersectionality, illustrating that sometimes feminism is too white. Speaking of Feminism is anyway a thoughtprovoking read and I would highly recommend it.

I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my copy or not but it’s one glob of text without breaks. It was very difficult to read. From what I did read, I found it interesting it was so dense and reporting like. As if here’s the research and here are the facts cut and dry. It didn’t have a conversational tone to it at all. Which, is surprising given the title.

Speaking of Feminism is a nice collection of various women and ages. The book is well written it is a important read.

This was a really nice book of interviews of feminist activists of all kinds. The author takes her interviews and divides them up between women in their forties, thirties and twenties. It was a little dry and I wish there had been more cohesiveness and connection be tween the interviews but it was a nice read.
