![]() ![]() It even felt strange to call myself an author - something I write about a bit in the book. ![]() Like a lot of women, I downplayed my success and career - for a while I called myself a blogger, even though I was writing for major publications in addition to blogging. It actually took me a long time to call myself a writer. I’m so grateful that my parents were such big readers when I was a kid - reading books was a huge part of my childhood, and I think that’s part of the reason that I’m a writer today. I loved Corduroythe bear! That and Where the Wild Things Are were my constant go-tos. Objectification is something that women live in, whether we like it or not. It’s my story, and everyone experiences sexism and misogyny in distinct ways - but I do think that there will be a lot that resonates with other women. It’s a look at the way that sexism impacts women - not just on an everyday basis, but on an existential, psychological level as well. All of my writing about feminism and politics has been personal, of course, but this book feels like the piece of work it’s all been leading up to. Sex Objectis definitely my most personal work to date. ![]()
