Oh, I forgot. I knew I was reading a good book! I'm also reading:

I didn't expect to like this book but I'm loving it! It's a memoir by Rosanne Barr that focuses a lot on:

-her experience growing up as a fat child
-her many years as part of a lesbian feminist collective (even though she's straight, she has a lesbian sister- and they are politically aligned)
-her fierce feminism and living outside the box

It has some very interesting and moving stories and also is very funny! I tend to prefer reading books on feminist theory by lesbians but Rosanne really holds her own. Surprisingly enjoyable read.
