Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positive by Kristen J. Sollee
1.0
How do you make this stuff boring?
Slim little volume of essays that report history and pop culture with little insight and even less editing.
For ex: 'Emily Tepper says being a slut means "pulling the Patriarchy out of your ass and owning your sexuality without getting arrested or institutionalized."' That seems like a misquote; maybe "being a slut *should be*..."? The entire page this appears on is just the author asking various sex-positive bloggers their definition of "slut" and reprinting without comment.
If you find "70s feminist consciousness raising sessions are just like witches' sabbats!" to be compelling without any elaboration, you'll probably get something out of this book. If that doesn't work for you, skip it.
