Publisher's summary

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

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 audiobook 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.

4.5/5 Estrellas

Hace tiempo que no me topaba con un libro tan inspirador y poderoso como éste.
Scarlett Curtis (la curadora de éste libro) compila una serie de ensayos escritos por diversas mujeres en el ámbito de los negocios, la farandula y la filantropía para traernos Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies), un libro que responde la pregunta "Para ti, ¿Qué es el feminismo?" a través de los testimonios de mujeres tan diferentes entre si pero con una meta en común: La igualdad entre mujeres y hombres.

El libro se encuentra subdividido en distintas categorías, cada una relacionada a las emociones que solemos experimentar al darnos cuenta que nosotras también somos feministas (la editora lo nombra "Las 5 etapas del feminismo"), y a las acciones posteriores a éste descubrimiento: Epifanía, Enojo, Dicha, Poesía, Acción, Educación y Lectura a Futuro
Los ensayos de cada sección son increíblemente personales, dando al lector un vistazo en las vidas de estas mujeres y los retos que han tenido que derrotar en sus entornos, sobre todo las pertenecientes a minorías cuya lucha es doblemente exigente.

Hay ensayos buenísimos ahí. Si no quieren leer todo el libro, les recomiendo que busquen en internet mis favoritos:
1. Call Me a Feminist de Chimwemwe Chiweza
2. Imposter Syndrome de Alaa Murabit
3. Tell Him de Jameela Jamil
4. I Don't Feel Like a Woman de Swati Sharma
5. Woke Woman de Gemma Arterton
6. Be a Fun Feminist de Nimco Ali
7. The Power of the Period de Amika George
8. If You Can't See It, How Can You Be It? de Alice Wroe
Y mi favorito de todo el libro
9. The Weaker Sex de Keira Knightley

De todo el libro, mis secciones favoritas fueron Educación y Lectura a Futuro. En Educación se desglosa cada una de las ondas de feminismo, los grupos que se han formado y las acciones que se han realizado desde los inicios del movimiento en los 1800s.
He agregado cada uno de los libros mencionados en Lectura a Futuro a mi lista de libros pendientes porque hay tanto que aprender de éste tema. El conocimiento es saber y cada arma que podamos tomar para luchar por la equidad es esencial para cambiar las normas sociales que hoy construyen nuestra sociedad.

Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies) es una lectura obligada para cada persona en este planeta (no solo mujeres, hombres también). Hemos recorrido un gran camino como sociedad, pero aun falta mucho por recorrer. Si alguna vez sietes que vas a claudicar en ésta lucha, éste libro es perfecto para volver a cargar pilas y resurgir mas poderosa que nunca.

Beautiful bravery

I am thoroughly impressed with all of these women and their stories. Their words help move me in the right direction. This is the type of essays that should be required reading for the education of our adults and children. ❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️
