so-soAudio book. Probably not the best choice for my first audio book. Didn't grab me.
pickWhat a wonderful book! Dolly Parton is a true national treasure. She's a feminist, though she doesn't consider herself one. She's done more for women than most women who spout about their feminist works. Those that make jokes about her boobs, call her dumb or a salute, well the joke is on them. Growing up poor in East Tennessee, she just liked the way, women who could afford makeup looked and she just copied that look when she was young.
pickI‘m vaguely surprised that I stuck with this very long audiobook about a 70s porn star/90s director that I had never heard of.
After leaving home for Berkeley and the summer of love, Candida gets caught up in drugs and the 70s golden era of porn production as a star. Later, she pivots to directing movies for women and couples but runs into financial trouble. I liked how Kamensky looked at the larger forces in play during Candida‘s life.
pickVery enjoyable, enlightening, and disturbing. A lot of these goddesses, heroines, and monsters have sad stories. This book has sexual and gruesome content at times, so don‘t give it to your young daughters to read! I was bummed that not all of the women had artwork for them, because the ones that did were lovely to see. The commentary on the stories had a sassy spin but not excessively. The modern pop culture references seemed superfluous.
