Resumen del Editor
A fresh cultural analysis of female monsters from Greek mythology, and an invitation for all women to reclaim these stories as inspiration for a more wild, more “monstrous” version of feminism
The folklore that has shaped our dominant culture teems with frightening female creatures. In our language, in our stories (many written by men), we underline the idea that women who step out of bounds - who are angry or greedy or ambitious, who are overtly sexual or not sexy enough - aren’t just outside the norm. They’re unnatural. Monstrous. But maybe, the traits we’ve been told make us dangerous and undesirable are actually our greatest strengths.
Through fresh analysis of 11 female monsters, including Medusa, the Harpies, the Furies, and the Sphinx, Jess Zimmerman takes us on an illuminating feminist journey through mythology. She guides women (and others) to reexamine their relationships with traits like hunger, anger, ugliness, and ambition, teaching readers to embrace a new image of the female hero: one that looks a lot like a monster, with the agency and power to match.
Often, women try to avoid the feeling of monstrousness, of being grotesquely alien, by tamping down those qualities that we’re told fall outside the bounds of natural femininity. But monsters also get to do what other female characters - damsels, love interests, and even most heroines - do not. Monsters get to be complete, unrestrained, and larger than life. Today, women are becoming increasingly aware of the ways rules and socially constructed expectations have diminished us. After seeing where compliance gets us - harassed, shut out, and ruled by predators - women have never been more ready to become repellent, fearsome, and ravenous.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"A graceful stylist who casts a wide literary and geographical net, Zimmerman can make nearly anything interesting.... Nearly every page, however, brings fresh insights into age-old myths or tragicomic observations on 21st-century womanhood.... A sparkling and perceptive critique of ancient ideas that still hold women back.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
"A fresh look at female-coded monsters from mythology offers insight about embracing characteristics that people fear.” (Shelf Awareness)
“An engaging parsing that addresses the ways that sexism and misogyny constrain women, a provocative weaving of the personal and the political.” (The Progressive)

Historia
Radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin was a caricature of misandrist extremism in the popular imagination and a polarizing figure within the women's movement, infamous for her antipornography stance and her role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s. Last Days at Hot Slit brings together selections from Dworkin's work, both fiction and nonfiction, with the aim of putting the contentious positions she's best known for in dialogue with her literary oeuvre. It includes “Goodbye to All This” (1983), a scathing chapter from an unpublished manuscript.

Historia
The Mohawk phrase for depression can be roughly translated as a mind spread out on the ground. In this urgent, visceral work, Alicia Elliott explores how apt a description that is for the ongoing effects of the personal, intergenerational, and colonial traumas experienced by her so many Native people. Elliott's deeply personal writing details a life spent between Indigenous and White communities - a divide reflected in her own family - and engages with such wide-ranging topics as race, parenthood, love, art, mental illness, poverty, sexual assault, gentrification, and representation.

Historia
We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We feel virtuous when we wake up at dawn to get a jump on the day. We put others’ needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. In On Our Best Behavior, journalist Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses—often lauded as unselfish, distinctly feminine instincts—are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of mores known as the Seven Deadly Sins.

Breathe explores the terror, grace, and beauty of coming of age as a Black person in contemporary America and what it means to parent our children in a persistently unjust world. Emotionally raw and deeply reflective, Imani Perry issues an unflinching challenge to society to see Black children as deserving of humanity. She admits fear and frustration for her African-American sons in a society that is increasingly racist and at times seems irredeemable. However, as a mother, feminist, writer, and intellectual, Perry offers an unfettered expression of love.

One of the main topics of cultural conversation during the last decade was the supposed "fertility crisis" and whether modern women could figure out a way to have it all - a successful, demanding career and the required 2.3 children - before their biological clocks stopped ticking. Now, however, conversation has turned to whether it's necessary to have it all (see Anne-Marie Slaughter) or, perhaps more controversial, whether children are really a requirement for a fulfilling life.

Some of the most effective talk therapy is self-talk therapy - learning to connect positively with that internal voice that serves as your own personal GPS to guide you through life. Rabbi Shmuley teaches the reader to reconnect with the inner voice of conscience, the source of personal dreams and values, which has been so drowned out by the noise of a culture that emphasizes form over substance, career over calling, and consumption over conviction. Drawing on Rabbi Shmuley's extensive counseling experience, this book helps you defeat negative self-talk.

For the first time, Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor speaks directly to his fans and shares his worldview about life as a sinner. And Taylor knows how to sin. As a small-town hero in the early '90s, he threw himself into a fierce-drinking, drug-abusing, hard-loving, live-for-the-moment life. Soon Taylor's music exploded, and he found himself rich, wanted, and on the road. His new and ever-more-extreme lifestyle had an unexpected effect, however; for the first time, he began to actively think about what it meant to sin.

Historia
So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.

Yet, as she was helping thousands of women in war-torn countries, Salbi’s personal life was coming to a crisis. In Freedom Is an Inside Job, Salbi explores her own riveting journey to wholeness - and how embarking on such a journey enables each of us to create the world we want to live in. After years of working as a successful CEO and change-maker, Salbi realized that if she wanted to confront and heal the shadows of the world, she needed to face her own shadows first.

Not what I was expecting
I thought it was going to be a retelling of myths from a feminist angle but turned out to be more of a memoir of the authors self-esteem struggles loosely tied to mythological tropes.

A Riveting Show of Symbolism
This book is absolutely stunning. Not only does Zimmerman shed light on the patriarchal influence sowed within our most beloved myths and legends, but she also brings notice to how these same sentiments are impacting the way we as a society view women to this day. I enjoyed this novel for so many reasons. One being, I love Greek mythology, the other being never have I ever came across an author more relatable and honest than the creator of this narrative. There were moments while reading this I had to put the book down and gather my emotions, realizing that I had been in similar situations and that I suddenly felt this immense consolation in knowing I was no longer so deserted in my thoughts towards self-image and past entanglements. I definitely recommend this book to any and all.

Loved this book. I could relate to it on so many levels. I learned so much about history, mythology and just life itself. I feel like we’ve all been living under a rock.

Not what was promised
I chose this title thinking it would be similar to Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ work, but in a mythology vein. It could have been- I’m sure the author has the academic chops to produce such a work. However, this book is roughly 30% myth work, 35% prurient confessional, and 35% progressive diatribe. Wholly unpleasant to listen to. And I really, really wanted to listen to this, and couldn’t get past the 70% of wasted sound waves (ink if you read the print version). YesI did listen to the sample before buying. The sample was fine, but the book rapidly devolves into Facebook-style whining about the patriarchy. I want my Audible credit back.

Disappointing
wish I read all the reviews...excellent concept but not enough Mythology or myth/monster content or analysis. way too much personal reference made it tedious and felt like i was misled and wasted my credit...couldn't finish ..i may revisit/try but some chapters barely even discuss the monster/topic and when they do its obvious and shallow analysis. If you are really into self esteem issues I guess u might like. sorry..really wanted to love

Terribly disappointing (and boring)
I thought the book will present well researched feminist interpretation of myths. It's just the author's rant about how much she hates her body and all her self esteem issues. it reads like a badly written (and boring) diary. there is mention of mythical characters in passing, no real research, and definitely not something I'd call a good feminist interpretation. terribly disappointed!

Anectdotal
I thought that this book would have more research but it was largely anecdotal. While the style of writing and the author voice was great I had expected a more scholarly approach to the connection between women and monsters based on the description.
