About This Book

"There are three forms of strike I'd recommend: a housework strike, a labor strike, and a sex strike. I can't wait for the first two." Lucy Ellmann's essay collection is on the way. The essays explore a variety of topics and key figures including feminism, environmental catastrophe, labour strikes, sex strikes, Little House On The Prairie, Donald Trump, Alfred Hitchcock and Virginia Woolf.

Reviews

"Attentively negotiating a bleak world, the sentences remain joyous constructions ..."

Catherine Taylor· The Guardian Read review ↗ Top of the Pile

"As much of the world leaves the pandemic behind...our nostalgia for the past may well be tempered by the recognition of what our world was actually like before."

Jessica Loudis· Times Literary Supplement Read review ↗ Near the Top

"Nevertheless, fans of feminist satire will delight in these rants and ruminations."

Publishers Weekly Read review ↗ Near the Top

"Many of the ideas in this collection are also present in Ellmann's fiction, and in several cases fiction is an infinitely better vehicle for them."

Baya Simons· Financial Times Read review ↗ Maybe Someday
