Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman

Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of how female celebrities are pushing the boundaries of what it means to be an "acceptable" woman in today's society.

With its brisk and incisive analysis, this book explores why the public loves to love (and hate) controversial figures like Serena Williams, Hillary Clinton, Nicki Minaj, and Kim Kardashian.

Through a lens of "unruliness," Petersen interrogates our culture with precision and nuance, highlighting the paradoxical expectations American culture places on women, particularly the mixed messages it sends: the "you can do anything," rubbing awkwardly against the "you can't do everything." This must-read book is a conversation-starting exploration of what makes and breaks celebrity today.
