"I'm doing a project where I try to read books from all kinds of genre. Poetry, art, fiction, non-fiction, etc. This was my women's non-fiction choice for October and I thought I would have to slough through it like other non-fiction that I've read this year. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved this book. It had everything! Sarcastic humor? check. Feminists? check. Making fun of old-fashioned homemakers from the 50s? check. And when it got to the part of My First Barbie and the ugly Western Barbie, my 6 year old child inside said, "I had that. Me! I had that!" It was a nice trip down memory lane that any girl that got her first Barbie before 1988 could relate to."
