We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrrl to CoverGirl®, the Buying and Selling of a Political Movement

The book "We Were Feminists Once" by Andi Zeisler is a thought-provoking and timely exposé that delves into the current state of feminism, revealing how it has been co-opted and watered down by mainstream culture.

Despite the title, this book is not just about the past, but rather a call to action for readers to reclaim their voices and fight for true equality.

Zeisler expertly dissects the ways in which feminism has become synonymous with "feminist lifestyle branding" and "empowerment porn," highlighting the ways in which these trends have undermined the very principles of feminism.

Through a combination of sharp analysis, personal anecdotes, and cultural critique, Zeisler challenges readers to confront the limitations of mainstream feminism and to embrace a more radical and inclusive vision of equality.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern feminism and taking action to create a more just and equitable society.
