Lindy West Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Reexamines iconic movies from the past forty years to identify laugh-worthy plot holes and fictional misrepresentations in such esteemed blockbusters as "Forrest Gump," "The Lion King," and "Top Gun."

This is a witch hunt. We're witches, and we're hunting you. As powerful men fell to the #MeToo movement, cries of injustice emerged: this is feminism gone too far, this is a witch hunt. In a provocative cultural critique, the author of a bestselling memoir and Hulu series flips that narrative. If you think this is a witch hunt, then so be it. With humor and insight, she celebrates the transformative power of truth, challenging readers to confront the dark lies embedded in American mythology and the complex politics of not being a white man today. She explores the misogyny and propaganda prevalent in the media consumed during her upbringing, revealing how distortions and prejudice have allowed white male mediocrity to dominate American culture and politics. Reflecting on the near election of America's first female president after the first black president, she highlights the disillusionment that followed when a racist con-man took office. To grasp how we arrived at this moment in history, we must examine the gap between our self-perception and reality, fact-checking the narratives we tell ourselves. The truth holds the potential to transform us; there is real power in it. The author illuminates this journey.

A laugh-out-loud feminist memoir from one of the boldest new voices on the web.
