I really enjoy Katha Pollitt. This book is a collection of columns she wrote for The Nation, 2001 to 2006. Pollitt is a champion of the feminist cause--of women's causes--and I love the way her mind works. This book, though, as a sum of its parts, is a bit depressing, because she keeps addressing the same issues and nothing changes. Granted, 2001 to 2006 was not exactly the most progressive era in the history of women's rights, but still. You'd think we'd come a little farther. On the plus side, Pollitt calls attention to events and atrocities that everyone should know about, and makes such radically common-sense arguments that I can't believe anyone who's read her doesn't agree with her. I'm glad to have her.
