Summary:
From “one of the most emotionally exacting, mercilessly candid, deeply funny, and intellectually rigorous writers of our time” (Cheryl Strayed, writer of Wild) comes a seminal new reserve that reaches surprising truths about feminism, the Trump era, as well as the Resistance movement. You won’t be able to stop great deal of thought and discussing it.
In the fall of 2016, acclaimed author Meghan Daum began focusing on a book about the excesses of contemporary feminism. With Hillary Clinton shortly to be about Issue with Everything: My Trip Through the New Tradition Wars elected, she thought actually the most fiercely liberal of her close friends and readers could take the criticisms in stride. But after the election, she understood she needed to perform more, and her nearly completed manuscript proceeded to go in the trash. What arrived in its place may be the most sharply-observed, all-encompassing, and unputdownable reserve of her career.
Within this gripping new work, Meghan examines our country’s most intractable issues with clear-eyed credibility instead of exaggerated outrage. With passion, humor, & most importantly nuance, she tries to make sense of the current landscaping—from Donald Trump’s presidency to the #MeToo movement and beyond. In the process, she wades into the waters of identification politics and intersectionality, thinks deeply about the gender income gap, and assessments a theory about the divide between Gen Xers and millennials.
This signature work may be the first book to capture the essence of the era in every its nuances and contradictions. No matter where you stand on its problems, this book will hit a chord.
