Items related to Sex Object: A Memoir
Sex Object explores the painful, funny, embarrassing, and sometimes illegal moments that shaped Jessica Valenti's adolescence and young adulthood in New York City, revealing a much shakier inner life than the confident persona she has cultivated as one of the most recognizable feminists of her generation. In the tradition of writers like Joan Didion and Mary Karr, this literary memoir is sure to shock those already familiar with Valenti's work and enthrall those who are just finding it.

Review:
An Amazon Best Book of June 2016: Speaking up for women's issues with a bold and unflinching voice is nothing new for Jessica Valenti. Her new memoir, Sex Object, evokes this trademark approach, along with insights into her personal experience, in order to explain how sexism has shaped generations of women. Many times throughout this book I was wonderfully uncomfortable with the ideas and points Valenti puts forth--and then other times I found myself angry (at myself) when I saw unexpected parallels in my own life experience. Readers who haven’t experienced Valenti's writing before may be shocked by Sex Object--but not disappointed. --Penny Mann, The Amazon Book Review
From the Back Cover:
Hailed by the Washington Post as “one of the most visible and successful feminists of her generation,” Jessica Valenti’s Sex Object explores the toll that sexism takes on women’s lives, from the everyday to the existential. This national bestseller is powerful, personal, and could not be more timely to the national conversation on gender and politics.
