    About this ebook

    From big-game hunting to understanding NASCAR, women face the challenges of the 21st century with determination and strength. Well, most of them do. Some of them think obsessively about clothes and sex instead. In this volume, Evan Gillespie reviews a handful of books that, although written by women, are instructive for everyone, regardless of gender, as examples of the myriad ways that millennial women look at themselves.

    Culture critic Evan Gillespie has been slinging his opinions about books at readers for over a decade. The "What Were We Thinking?!" series collects the best of his book-oriented essays and presents them to a new generation of readers. Because, you know, he's all about educating the youngsters.
