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
"It's in the titular—previously unpublished—essay that Ellmann reminds the reader what she's capable of doing with language ..."
"Nevertheless, fans of feminist satire will delight in these rants and ruminations."
"Blistering statements cover a clutch of cultural reference points from Aristophanes to Audre Lorde ..."
"While Ellmann's arguments rarely deviate from left-wing feminist orthodoxy, what the collection lacks in surprise it makes up for in wit—she is the schoolyard ally you want on your side, always ready with the killer comment."
