Young women today have a bad reputation, and for good reason: They're sexting their classmates, they spend more time on FaceBook than they do in class, and their appetite for material possessions and reality TV is matched only by their overwhelming apathy about important social and political issues. Right?Wrong.FBomb blog creator Julie Zeilinger debunks these (and other) myths about modern youth in A Little F'd Up, the first book about feminism for young women in their teens and twenties to actually be written by one of their peers. In this accessible handbook, Zeilinger takes a critical, honest, and humorous look at where young feminists are as a generation, and where they're going,and she does so from the perspective of someone who's in the trenches right alongside her readers. Fun, funny, and engaging, A Little F'd Up is a must-read for the growing number of intelligent, informed young women out there who are ready to start finding their voice,and changing the world.… (meer)

Zeilinger tells her readers (her target audience being female members of her own generation) everything they need to know about the history, current perception, and possible future paths of the feminist movement, while providing a balanced, honest opinion on its highs and lows. The trick is that in doing this she still comes across as a normal, likeable young woman. She's not preachy or overly intense, the text reads well (although I do think there were points where she got a tad too casual for my taste), and the boxes of additional information that covered everything from historical events to important people were interesting and informative. The best part about this book is that it's a READABLE book on feminism and so you can recommend it, and recommend it I shall. (

"I would absolutely recommend this book, particularly to young people, for whom it should be required high school reading. Zeilinger articulates a form of feminism that is current, relevant, and rooted in self-expression. Who can argue with that?"

"Zeilinger's honesty and straightforwardness will appeal to the often jaded members of Generation Facebook, encourage newcomers to climb on board, and reenergize those already on the bandwagon."

I can tell a lot about a person based on what they do when I first tell them I'm a feminist.
