Resumen del Editor
Today, feminism is no longer a dirty word, and women purporting to stand up for women's equality now include high-powered names like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Emma Watson. Hip underwear lines sell granny pants with "feminist" emblazoned on the back. In every bookstore there are scores of seductive feminist how-to business guides telling women how to achieve "it all". Meanwhile, access to abortion clinics is growing ever more difficult for many women across the country, and Arizona has passed a law requiring doctors to tell women undergoing abortive procedures about a junk science method of "reversing" abortion espoused by the Tea Party right. Feminism has gone mainstream, but true equality is never an easy sell.
Here, Andi Zeisler exposes how feminism has transformed into something barely warranting the name, ignoring the many for the one, shamelessly colluding with market forces and popular culture. Witty and fearless, We Were Feminists Once is the story of how we could have let this happen and where we go from here.

Featured Article: Why Riot Grrrl Still Matters
In the early 1990s in the hazy fog of the Pacific Northwest, a movement was brewing. A gathering of women convened in Olympia, the capital of Washington State, to discuss the pitfalls that plagued their local punk scene—an environment rocked by sexism that was, at best, uncomfortable and, at worst, openly hostile to fans and artists who didn't mirror lineups dominated by straight white men. Whether Bikini Kill holds a prime spot on your playlist or you've yet to hear the drumbeat born from a woman oppressed, these listens offer a fully-fledged history of the riot grrrl revolution.

Whether or not we like to admit it, pop culture is a lens through which we alternately view and shape the world around us. When it comes to feminism, pop culture aids us in translating feminist philosophies, issues, and concepts into everyday language, making them relevant and relatable. In Feminism and Pop Culture, author and cofounder of Bitch magazine Andi Zeisler traces the impact of feminism on pop culture (and vice versa) from the 1940s to the present and beyond.

To understand how we got here, we have rewind the VHS tape. 90s Bitch tells the real story of women and girls in the 1990s, exploring how they were maligned by the media, vilified by popular culture, and objectified in the marketplace. Trailblazing women like Hillary Clinton, Anita Hill, Marcia Clark, and Roseanne Barr were undermined. Newsmakers like Monica Lewinsky, Tonya Harding, and Lorena Bobbitt were shamed and misunderstood. The advent of the 24-hour news cycle reinforced society's deeply entrenched sexism.

It was long ago, but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. In between, one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. Landlines fell to cell phones, the internet exploded, and pop culture accelerated without the aid of technology that remembered everything. It was the last era with a real mainstream to either identify with or oppose. The ’90s brought about a revolution in the human condition, and a shift in consciousness, that we’re still struggling to understand.

Weaving together over 100 years of history with scenes from the contemporary landscape, Labor of Love offers a fresh feminist perspective on how we came to date the ways we do. This isn't a guide to "getting the guy". There are no ridiculous "rules" to follow. Instead Weigel helps us understand how looking for love shapes who we are and hopefully leads us closer to the happy ending that dating promises.

Historia
Today’s newsrooms are propagating radical ideas that were fringe as recently as a decade ago, including “antiracism,” intersectionality, open borders, and critical race theory. How did this come to be? It all has to do with who our news media is written by—and who it is written for. In Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy, Batya Ungar-Sargon reveals how American journalism underwent a status revolution over the twentieth century—from a blue-collar trade to an elite profession.

Historia
Women have been told that being pretty comes at the expense of being taken seriously. If a woman is physically attractive, there is often a presumption that she lacks the substance and smarts necessary to provide leadership. This narrative implies that being pretty and being capable are mutually exclusive. But in Pretty Powerful, Fox News political commentator and legal analyst Eboni Williams rejects that narrative. She says that to accept the false notion that beauty and power are mutually exclusive is to leave an incredibly powerful tool on the table.

Double standards are nothing new. Women deal with them every day. Take the common truism that women who sleep around are sluts while men are studs. Why is it that men grow distinguished and sexily gray as they age while women just get saggy and haggard? Have you ever wondered how a young woman is supposed to both virginal and provocatively enticing at the same time?

Historia
In the last two years, the United States - its history, assumptions, prejudices, and vocabulary - have all cracked open. A woman won a state presidential primary contest (quite a few of them, actually) for the first time in this country's history. Less than a year later, a vice-presidential candidate concluded her appearance in a national debate and immediately reached for her newborn baby. A few months after that, an African American woman moved into the White House - not as an employee but as the First Lady.

Pink and pretty or predatory and hardened, sexualized girlhood influences our daughters from infancy onward, telling them that how a girl looks matters more than who she is. Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as a source - the source - of female empowerment. And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages.

Marketing executives and consumer advocates alike predict a future of brand-proof consumers, armed with technology and a sophisticated understanding of marketing techniques, who can effectively tune out ad campaigns. But as Rob Walker demonstrates, this widely accepted misconception has eclipsed the real changes in the way modern consumers relate to their brands of choice. Combine this with marketers' new ability to blur the line between advertising, entertainment, and public space, and you have dramatically altered the relationship between consumer and consumed.

The Left used to be the party of the hippies and the free spirits. Now it’s home to woke scolds and humorless idealogues. The New Puritans can judge a person’s moral character by their clothes, Netflix queue, fast food favorites, the sports they watch, and the company they keep. No choice is neutral, no sphere is private. Not since the Puritans has a political movement wanted so much power over your thoughts, hobbies, and preferences every minute of your day. In the process, they are sucking the joy out of life.

This close look at Wonder Woman's history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman with a golden lasso and bullet-deflecting bracelets. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time, advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the 1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often as she saved the world.

The election of Donald Trump in 2016, like most of his campaign, came as a shock to many Americans. How could a man so lacking in capacity, so void of any intellectual heft, become the president of the United States? How could a man with no detectable personal qualities outside of resentment and the will to dominate appeal to millions of Americans, enough so that he was able to win the highest office in the land? With this book, journalist Amanda Marcotte will outline how Trump was the inevitable result of American conservatism’s degradation into an ideology of blind resentment.

Women have been instrumental in the success of American cinema since its very beginning. One of the first people to ever pick up a motion picture camera was a woman, as was the first screenwriter to win two Academy Awards, the inventor of the boom microphone, and the first person to be credited with the title film editor. Throughout the entire history of Hollywood women have been revolutionizing, innovating, and shaping how we make movies. Yet their stories are rarely shared. This is what film reporter Alicia Malone wants to change. Backwards and in Heels tells the history of women in film in a different way.

In the year 2018, it seems as if women’s anger has suddenly erupted into the public conversation. But long before this, women’s anger was not only politically catalytic - but politically problematic. With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca tracks the history of female anger as political fuel - from suffragettes chaining themselves to the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. She deconstructs society’s (and the media’s) condemnation of female emotion (notably, rage) and the impact of resulting repercussions.

Very informative
I loved how the author left reference after reference of where she collected her information to ultimately make her conclusions. As a feminist that likes to have physical articles to hand over to those unsure of the cause, this was a gold mine.
This book gave me references to lawsuit cases, media advertisements, legislation decisions, research studies, campaign organizations and quotes from celebrities, politicians, researchers, CEOs and much more.

Fantastic book despite shoddy narration
This is a thorough, thoughtful, though by no means unbiased study of a topic that defies easy definition. While I might have minor quibbles with Zeisler on very minor points, I agree with her premise that "marketplace feminismL is detrimental to the cause it purports to advance. Moreover, I think this theme can be seen in other contemporary movements.
I concur with other reviewers frustrated by this audiobook's narration. The density of mispronunciation a is kind of staggering. To be fair though, it's not entirely poor Joell A. Jacob's fault. The other members of the production team bear some responsibility too. And mispronunciation a aside, Jacob's performance is actually pretty easy on the ears, and matches the lively buoyant tone of Zeisler's prose.
This is the first book-length study of feminism I've read, but it certainly won't be the last. We're all in this together.

A vital primer on feminism
I always thought of myself as a feminist. In many ways, as this book has helped me see, I have fallen short of the mark (obviously). An essential reminder that we all (mostly) need to (re)examine the topic and our perceptions and thinking more deeply. I’ll be telling my fellow men to read this and will gladly recommend it to anyone else. Thank you Andi!

Very Engaging Read For Feminists And Marketers
Andi does an excellent job of exploring how feminist themes got co-opted, sugared, and repackaged as sales pitches by the capitalist system. She does an eloquent job of analyzing how this repackaging actually undercuts the ideology of solidarity and collective action needed to achieve feminsim's humanistic goals and instead substitutes individual consumerism as feminist action. What is very, very uneloquent is the articulation of the reader.
The reader was unprofessional. When the text spoke of Andi's publishing career the reader pronounced the word "zine" (a contraction of the word magazine) as "zyne" the first time and "zeen", the proper pronunciation, the subsequent times. The reader pronounced the magazine title Nete A Porter as if the title was not from French.
Those reading foibles could be overlooked if this reader did not pull me right out of the book every time she did not mouth cross the double "tt"s in the words "written" and "button". Plus the reader softens the "or" in the middle of the word "important". A reader is suppose to either disappear altogether as the listener gets enfold ed in the text. Or the reader is suppose to enrich the text with character voices. The reader is NOT suppose to pull the listener out of the text. Yet that is exactly what this reader did.

Great book, terrible narration
I have read this book in paper form and I quite enjoyed it, but this audio version is terrible. The narration sounds like it is done by a robot. It is read in a monotone Siri-like voice, with many mispronunciations. I had to give up on it very quickly.

Refreshing and poignant
Market place feminism conditions Stockholm syndrome.. brilliant! Post-its clutter my desk from all the thought provoking tid bits that reside in this book.

Fantastic content but you might want to READ it...
...if you have issues with rampant mispronunciation of words.
Argh! The audio narrator would have been great but she can't pronounce the most basic of words or even celebrity names. I listened to 275 audio books last year and this one tops the list "most mispronounced words." It's egregious. I'm going to estimate that most books have about an average of 4 mispronounced words and this one has...50? Probably more. I should have tallied them.
She also swallows her "Ts" in any word that is 2 syllables " so "written" is "wri-en." "Latin America" has no "T."
It's really a pity. I'm not reviewing the content, which does deserve a 4 star review because the narrator is such an annoyance. Still, if you are in the "all audio" category of "reader," steel yourself, because it's still worth the listen despite the narrator.

Sounds like Siri is reading it!
Loved the book, but the narration was terrible. It is a great feminist starter text.

Amazing for anyone interested in feminism and gender studies
This book was so enlightening (and frustrating!) anyone who cares about the future of equality should read. The narrator is awful though and mispronounces words in her monotone and robotic voice. But if ya can get past that it's a real treat!

Great Book, Poor Narration
This was a great book, but the narrator repeatedly mispronounced words and names throughout. I liked her delivery, but it seems like she had no opportunity to research before reading aloud and no one was checking the recording after.
