Trainwreck by Jude Ellison S. Doyle
4.0
"Consider this book, then, a feminist anatomy of the trainwreck. It's an effort to figure out who she is: what her crimes are, why she's making us so angry; what, in general, she hath done to offend us. These are questions of more immediate and personal relevance than you might think: When women look hard enough at the trainwreck, we almost invariably end up looking at ourselves.
[...] It is, above all, an attempt to use the figure of the trainwreck, and our fascination with her, for good: to take all the earth-shattering and civilization-angering power of hers and channel it toward something that might make the world a more just place for the women who live in it."
This book was interesting, frustrating and made me stop to say "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!" roughly 2,783 times.
