Summary:
"The New York Times bestselling author of
Girls
&
Sex
and Cinderella Ate My Daughter delivers her first ever collection of essays--funny, poignant, deeply personal and sharply observed pieces, drawn from three decades of writing, which trace
girls
' and
women
's progress (or lack thereof) in what Orenstein once called a "half-changed world." Named one of the "40
women
who changed the media business in the last 40 years" by Columbia Journalism Review, Peggy Orenstein is one of the most prominent, unflinching feminist voices of our time. Her writing has broken ground and broken silences on topics as wide-ranging as miscarriage, motherhood, breast cancer,
princess
culture and the importance of
girls
' sexual pleasure. Her unique blend of investigative reporting, personal revelation and unexpected humor has made her books bestselling classics. In
Don
't
Call
Me
Princess
, Orenstein's most resonant and important
essays
are available for the first time in collected form, updated with both an original introduction and personal reflections on each piece. Her takes on reproductive justice, the infertility industry, tensions between working and stay-at-home moms, pink ribbon fear-mongering and the complications of girl culture are not merely timeless--they have, like Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, become more urgent in our contemporary political climate.

offers a crucial evaluation of where we stand today as women--in our work lives,
sex
lives, as mothers, as partners--illuminating both how far we've come and how far we still have to go."--Amazon.com.
