Don't Call Me Princess: Essays on Girls, Women, Sex and Life
เจเจธ เจ-เจเจฟเจคเจพเจฌ เจฌเจพเจฐเฉ
Named one of the โ40 women who changed the media business in the last 40 yearsโ by Columbia Journalism Review, Peggy Orenstein is one of the most prominent, unflinching feminist voices of our time. Her writing has broken ground and broken silences on topics as wide-ranging as miscarriage, motherhood, breast cancer, princess culture and the importance of girlsโ sexual pleasure. Her unique blend of investigative reporting, personal revelation and unexpected humor has made her books bestselling classics.
Inย Donโt Call Me Princess, Orensteinโs most resonant and important essays are available for the first time in collected form, updated with both an original introduction and personal reflections on each piece. Her takes on reproductive justice, the infertility industry, tensions between working and stay-at-home moms, pink ribbon fear-mongering and the complications of girl culture are not merely timelessโthey have, like Margaret Atwoodโs The Handmaidโs Tale, become more urgent in our contemporary political climate.
Donโt Call Me Princessย offers a crucial evaluation of where we stand today as womenโin our work lives, sex lives, as mothers, as partnersโilluminating both how far weโve come and how far we still have to go.
