Finally finishing two books I didn’t finish prior to their due dates and one I started and finished for levity. Trauma Steardship is critical for anyone working in nonprofits or handson trauma services. #readingisdelicious #audiobooks #badfeministbook #roxanegay #traumastewardship #traumastewardshipbook #lauravandernootlipsky (at Kittenkastleseattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwqNmcPn1Yn35KWFiJTevKB6PO5ROshQLlAkr40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r5p63b22446z

“I am failing as a woman. I am failing as a feminist. To freely accept the feminist label would not be fair to good feminist. If I am, indeed, a feminist, I am a rather bad one. I am a mess of contradictions. There are many ways in which I am doing feminism wrong, at least according to the way my perceptions of feminism have been warped by being a woman.” This book was INCREDIBLE. I hate that I took so long to read it, but I’m a slow reader. And I by slow I’ll read constantly for a couple days, then take like 4 weeks off. But everything about this book was just like a breath of air. It’s raw, it’s pure emotion, it’s pure feeling. I honestly would suggest this book to literally any woman, whether you see yourself as a feminist or not, whether you feel you will agree with Roxane Gay on everything or not. Each and every essay is just a look into her day to day life, day to day thoughts on various things. From pop culture and movies, to sexuality and sensuality, to just straight up womanhood. She doesn’t present herself as anything more than who she is and that is a human being, that’s a woman who is doing what she feels is the right thing to do. And oh my god it’s incredible. I’m seriously going to look into more of her books because she is definitely become one of my favorite people. Thank you @roxanegay74 for creating this book. “I am a bad feminist. I would rather be a bad feminist than no feminist at all.” . . . #feminist #feminism #badfeminist #badfeministbook #roxanegay #book #reading
