Summary
Author and Guardian US columnist Jessica Valenti has been leading the national conversation on gender and politics for over a decade. Now, in a darkly funny and bracing memoir, Valenti explores the toll that sexism takes, from the everyday to the existential.
Sex Object explores the painful, funny, embarrassing, and sometimes illegal moments that shaped Valenti's adolescence and young adulthood in New York City, revealing a much shakier inner life than the confident persona she has cultivated as one of the most recognizable feminists of her generation.
In the tradition of writers like Joan Didion and Mary Karr, this literary memoir is sure to shock those already familiar with Valenti's work and enthrall those who are just finding it.

Hard hitting and worthwhile
Really hit home so many times! I'd really recommend this, but be warned- if you're an anxiety sufferer you might find some passages difficult, but I'd still urge you to give this a go!

Such an eye opener for men and women alike.
Such a good read with great narration from the author. The book is less academic feminism and more real life. Would recommend to any man woman or child.
