Feminists Don’t Wear Pink and Other Lies: Amazing Women on What the F-Word Means to Them

"Brilliant, hysterical, truthful, and real, these essays illuminate the path for our future female leaders."--Reese Witherspoon

A diverse group of celebrities, activists, and artists open up about what feminism means to them, with the goal of helping readers come to their own personal understanding of the word.

"As a feminist who loves pink, I give this brilliant book of essays an enthusiastic 'YES.'"--Mindy Kaling

Feminists Don't Wear Pink and Other Lies is a collection of writing from extraordinary women, from Hollywood actresses to teenage activists, each telling the story of her personal relationship with feminism. Often funny, sometimes surprising, and always inspiring, this book aims to bridge the gap between the feminist hashtag and the scholarly text by giving women the space to explain how they actually feel about feminism.
