Somehow, I managed to convince my advisor that I needed to take a French Film and Feminism course. Kinda like Agnes Varda, a film director, did when I was in university. It defines “feminism” in a way that really resonated with me. I’ll focus on 2 major things for this post… One reason I loved this book… I think it’s important to remember that we are all works in progress and to stop holding women to insane standards of perfection. She was in the process of evolving, and in huge ways I would say. It’s not a flawless book, but why should it be? As the subtitle clearly states, Blackie was on a journey. Not because If Women Rose Rooted by Sharon Blackie is boring, but because every single page asks me to slow down, reread, reconsider, sometimes mark paragraphs with a question mark, sometimes scribble a HELL YES in the margin (yes I am one of those people). I don’t think it’s ever taken me so long to get through a book.
