Purchase options and add-ons

For all of you humming 'I Will Survive' while watching the political debacles gracing the evening news, when getting an earful from your Limbaugh-loving brother-in-law, or as you're ducking into the bathroom to avoid the date espousing the wisdom of those Mars versus Venus books, this book is for you.

It's a Jungle Out There gives all you smart, independent women out there the funny pranks, witty comebacks, and stalwart sources of strength you need in these trying times. With her tongue firmly in cheek and her middle finger stuck straight up in the air, Amanda Marcotte (of Pandagon.net) takes you on a tour through the perils that await any feminist who must navigate day-to-day life in the U.S., from the abstinence-only classrooms to the glass-ceiling of the office world.

Drawing on her personal experiences of dealing with anti-feminists-from her years of blogging about feminism and living in the woman-unfriendly state of Texas-Marcotte brings her wit and distinct lack of patience to the topic of surviving while feminist. She doles out priceless advice along the way on how not only survive but also thrive, and even how to carve out a space for your feminist self in these oft-times hostile environments.

Not great, but not horrible

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2015

The wit wasn't witty? Most of this books humor I didn't find humorous. (Do you like that fact that I can't stop using the same words over and over again? No. Okay, I'm not very witty either.)

The format of this book fell flat for me as well. And there was some trans erasure in this book. Not one I would recommend to my feminist friends, but not horrible.

Funny

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2008

Verified Purchase

It is, indeed, smart, funny and readable. The author seems clever, and writes in an approachable fashion, effectively using humor while making some important points.

It is also irritatingly trite in many places, and some things are really a little OVER-simplified.

Underwhelming

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

The general idea was there, but it felt at times as if it was a last minute thrown together book report. Poorly researched, lazy writing, no real New ideas.

Witty and Funny

In a world were you can not turn on the tv without sexism in a very idiotic form starts pouring through the screen you need humor to keep you sanity.
