[Read by Bahni Turpin]<br><br> A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched young cultural observers of her generation, Roxane Gay.<br><br> ''<i>Pink is my favorite color. I used to say my favorite color was black to be cool, but it is pink -- all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink. I read <i>Vogue</i>, and I'm not doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. I once live-tweeted the September issue.</i>''<br><br> In these funny and insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking listeners on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown) . The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society but also one of our culture.<br><br> <b><i>Bad Feminist</i></b> is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better.<br><br>
