King Kong théorie
Virginie Despentes
Virginie Despentes writes about models of femininity, gender norms and the place given to people who do not fit them. Her essay adopts a personal, combative voice.
Why it belongs here
For encountering a writer who takes a position. Choose it for its polemical register and its view of the roles assigned to women and men. The book discusses sexual violence.
Before choosing
The force of the voice is part of the reading experience. This selection is an invitation to engage with an argument, including where you disagree, rather than a claim that one book represents every feminist perspective.
