pickAn overview of female artists and their use of the body in art. But beyond that too, what does it mean to be a woman making art in a world that appreciates female bodies as art but not female beings as creators of art? Early in the text Elkin posits that her title reflects both 'art monsters' as noun and an art that 'monsters' as verb. I was so struck by this idea which she ultimately reaches back to in her final section on art as decreation.
pickOof. This book was eye opening and I learned so much from reading it.
Looking at American politics through the lens of women‘s anger and how women have been able to use that anger to shape their future.
Traister spent most of the book examining the 2018 election and it was eerie how much we did not learn from that during the 2024 election.

There are things here and there I would dispute (not the living as a black woman but, as I am white), but that disagreement doesn‘t make this book any less superb. #SheSaid

Read with #SheSaid for April, Brittney Copper writes clearly & passionately & I like how she weaves her personal experiences in with culture, history & current events. It‘s dismaying that this book was written in 2018 with Trump in office the first time & reading it in 2025 things just continue to get worse. Truthfully as a white woman, it was uncomfortable reading at times as she ⬇️
Hello #SheSaid!
This month & this book flew by for me!
How did you all feel about this last section, and the book as a whole?
pickThis author is very thoughtful and her perspective is interesting. I mostly listened to this on audio but I had a print copy as well.
