If this book doesn't make you feel enraged and outrageously strangled and suffocated by reality for women, somethings wrong with you, not this book

Tanenbaum talks to young women about why they take sexy selfies. This brings a new POV that is free of slut shaming, but still carries a parental concern for sharing selfies in a world that automatically sexualizes women. A must read for every parent who has ever told their daughter to put some clothes on.

This was a solid and engaging read. Tanenbaum presents a well-researched and nuanced analysis, bravely addressing contradictions rather than avoiding them. Her exploration of the intersections between misogyny and racism is thoughtful and thorough, adding depth to the discussion. Overall, a compelling and insightful book that’s well worth reading. Thank you NetGalley for letting me read and review

My first NetGalley review! This was a pretty decent read. It was well-researched and nuanced; I respect that Tanenbaum doesn't shy away from an argument with contradictions, given that she addressed the contradictions in her analysis. She also thoroughly dives into the intersections of misogyny and racism, which was appreciated. Overall, a good read!

I did notice one typo (brick and mortal rather than brick and mortar), but I don't recall what page it was on.

A very informative book, very truthful in its knowledge. I like seeing a more positive and empowering guide to the negativity and stigmas around these issues.
Thank you NetGalley

I did not expect this to be a great balance between critical essays + scholarly essays and reflective/more accessible essays on selfies, digital photographs, difficult topics such as what happens when intimate photos are shared without consent. All of them are supported with some relevant references. Empowering. One to share and discuss with especially young ones, but anyone who are happy with their body and like taking photos of themselves.

This is very informative and great read. I liked the forwardness and truthfulness of this book. However, the way the book was written it's as if the author has never come across the issue but rather a bystander.

I love this cover and topic. Super important and interesting. I'm over forty, but I still found the book to be helpful. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Love this! Internet culture and body image is more toxic than it’s ever been. It’s nice to see a positive and empowering guide to dealing with that.
