Leora TanenbaumSlut! Growing Up Female with a Bad Reputation

Great book, the first hand accounts, the struggles and shaming women have to go through at the hands of men and there peers brought about by a patriarchal society is heartbreaking and unfortunate. My whole perspective has changed, I can no longer proclaim ignorance this book draws on the struggles of all females and should be a required reading for our youth

I absolutely loved this book. Anytime the subjects of promiscuity, double standards, rape culture, etc, come up in conversation, I ALWAYS mention this book and recommend it to people interested in the subject. I never use the phrase "paradigm-shifting" but I will here, because it really did open my eyes in a startling, amazing way. The writing is engaging, approachable, and compassionate - the perfect book for both people who care strongly about the issue, and people who are new to the idea and want to understand it.

I had to read this for a class I took last summer. It wasn't something I would have chosen on my own, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was rather good.I never really thought about the impact calling a young girl a "slut" would cause. It has made me think twice about saying or even thinking about a woman/girl like that.I think this should be read by every high schooler. It shows how words can cause harm to a young person.

High recommended love this book

Arrived quickly. Very interesting perspectives shared in this book. I read it 10 years ago and just decided to purchase a copy because the themes of the book always stuck with me.

Books like this are very positive toward female sexuality. It includes lots of interviews where people tell their stories of being harassed and labeled. It's a cool read, and it makes you think.

It’s for my sociology class, cant wait to start reading it.

My girlfriend used my account to buy this. It's a textbook so I dont know what else to say about it.
