I picked up this book because of a review in Bust magazine. I was disappointed -- the book offered no insights, just tired old rehash of things we've all heard before.It seems like the writers forgot about stereotypes and just wrote essays about women who have been treated like crap. It reads like "News of the Weird" instead of thoughtful commentary on our society.This book's intentions were good, but the whole thing is pretty brainless. I wish that weren't so.
