The Adventures and Discoveries of a Feminist Bride

De: Katrina Majkut

Narrado por: Kay Webster

The Adventures and Discoveries of a Feminist Bride invites listeners to join author Katrina Majkut on a personal and powerful prenuptial journey. With fearless curiosity and fun feminism, the book asks such questions as: Why do brides need their parents’ permission to marry? Why don’t men wear engagement rings? And why do women change their surname?

With cheeky insights into the origins of Western wedding traditions (like how the wedding cake is not just dessert but a sexy fertility talisman), Majkut uncovers eye-opening truths about how social traditions impact people’s lives. Listeners will learn how to modernize outdated traditions that support the wage gap, street harassment, sex and gender discrimination, and that limit reproductive rights. More than a wedding planning book, The Adventures and Discoveries of a Feminist Bride is an invigorating and heartening guide to inspire a new generation of fiancés to walk down the aisle as equals.

Love the writing, HATE the narration

I was so looking forward to this book after hearing a podcast featuring Katrina Majkut. I have quite the list of books to read and thought the audiobook would help me get through it while multitasking. The narration is absolutely terrible though. At times it sounds like "robotic" computer-generated speech, and it absolutely does not match up with the witty and informative information the author presents. PLEASE buy the actual book and read it yourself. The audiobook is not worth it.

For all the soul searching soon-to-be spouses!

I loved the light-hearted approach Katrina took towards answering some very important questions about wedding and marriage traditions so many of us blindly follow. This is exactly what I needed while in the midst of planning our wedding! Planning has been stressful- and no one ever tells you that you might do A LOT of soul searching during the process. This is a great accompaniment to that journey.
