Lindy West is ferociously witty and outspoken, tackling topics as varied as pop culture, social justice, and body image. Her work has garnered a nationwide audience; Shrill is her literary debut. West's work has appeared in The Guardian, GQ, and This American Life. She is a catalyst for a national conversation in a world where not all stories are created equal and not every body is treated with equal respect. Shrill is a series of essays that bravely share her life, including her transition from quiet to feminist-out-loud, her coming of age in a popular culture that is hostile to women (especially fat, funny women), and why keeping quiet is not an option for any of us.
