A review by ampersandinc
Shrill by Lindy West

5.0

Lindy West is funny, smart, and fierce. Being a woman is hard, but being a loud woman on the internet is even harder – and this is made all the more apparent in this collection of essays. West has been on the receiving end of vitriols of hate from online trolls, has fought to accept her fat body, and worked to get comics to cool it with the endless rape jokes. It’s a testament to her strength that she hasn’t allowed herself to be silenced, and that she has always approached things with a wry humour. I laughed out loud, I cried, and I highly recommend you read this!
