Portrait of a Feminist: A Memoir in Essays by Marianna Marlowe
5.0
I'm grateful to NetGalley and She Writes Press for the eARC.
I'm trying to read more women oriented titles, and more memoirs and this was a perfect addition to my shelf. Everyone should read this book, especially all women. In a beautiful manner Marianna Marlowe has weaved this memoir with intimate and emotional details that are meant to feel evocative.
It has strong themes, including marriages of inequal stature, patriarchal norms, and multicultural upbringing. The book is much more than a memoir, and serves as a lesson in retrospective for the society that discriminates on a number of agendas, gender being one of the foremost one.
The book also shows the author's journey of self discovery, and learning and unlearning the biases of feminism and associated sociopolitical issues.
Highly recommended
