"The Feminine Revolution" by Amy Stanton and Catherine Connors

 


This is a fascinating little book all about femininity.  There are ~20 chapters, each covering an aspect of the feminine.  With stories, quotes, history, and more, each aspect of femininity is described and encouraged.  Women are encouraged to both be bossy and supportive.  They are encouraged to both be mysterious and charming.  They are encouraged to be both composed and emotional.  More than anything, women are encouraged to be themselves without apology.  There is nothing wrong with being female.  Many feminine traits that are associated with weakness actually have their own strengths.  And that's okay.  While the book is overall very inspiring, there are a few areas to warn the reader about.  A few times the book gets political and endorses Hillary Clinton.  There are also a few swear words in various quotes.  Beyond that, the book was very nice to read.
