Wide-ranging collection, a few essays need updates
Revisado: 01-29-24
I was recommended this book for us to read for a feminist book club, and I appreciated the wide range of viewpoints on the topics covered. My only issue has to do with use of the term 'asexual' in the essay "Queering Black Female Heterosexuality" By Kimberly Springer.
It leads me to wonder if she was aware that it is indeed classified as a queer sexual orientation included in the LGBTQIA+ community (the A stands for Asexual) and not just a descriptor of someone who is not actively sexualized in the media?
Asexual or Ace refers someone who experiences little to no sexual attraction to people of either gender, and not someone who is celibate or is simply being portrayed as sexually unappealing/undesirable. I wish she could revise her essay to clarify that, as it could potentially lead to further confusion concerning understanding of that sexual orientation and people who identify with it.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 385
The women in these stories live lives of privilege and of poverty, are in marriages both loving and haunted by past crimes or emotional blackmail. A pair of sisters, grown now, have been inseparable ever since they were abducted together as children and must negotiate the elder sister's marriage. A woman married to a twin pretends not to realize when her husband and his brother impersonate each other. A stripper putting herself through college fends off the advances of an overzealous customer.

Trigger warning, gratuitous descriptions of rape
Revisado: 10-04-23
The first chapter of the book includes a gruesome story replete with a graphic depiction of sexual assault with absolutely no trigger warning whatsoever. The ensuing short stories are not much better.
