I didn't enjoy this nearly as much as the Bitch compilation. It was less substantial and there was a lot more attempt at empty shock value by some of the writers. It probably works better as a periodic disposable magazine than as an attempt at essays with long-term relevance. I did really enjoy the introductory essays in each chapter by the editors (one of which is still there), and Lynn Peril writes for them these days, so I'll probably still try the magazine. It is also very dated, but I was in my early to mid-20s when the stuff was written, and I can still remember how I felt about all that at the time, so it wasn't really a problem.

I bet everyone who wrote something for this book had a Diaryland diary in 1999 subtitled "I want to be the girl with the most cake." Of a time and place, blah blah blah.

This collection of stories/articles from the pages of BUST magazine is enlightening, heart-warming, hysterical, empowering and in-your-face... just like Feminism should be. The brutal honesty of the writing is so refreshing. I really enjoyed reading it, and could relate to many of the stories myself. It comes highly, highly recommended.
