I Am an Emotional Creature
by

This book does not consist of interviews. It's a collection that is "inspired" by real events.
I really doubt Eve Ensler knows what a Chinese girl working in a factory feels, so why write from her perspective? I thought feminism was about letting girls be heard? Well this is just putting Ensler's voice into all these girls' mouths. All the stories sounded the same because they are written by the same person, from the same perspective.
I don't see the point of this at all. If anything, girls are overly portrayed as "emotional". I suppose I don't understand Eve Ensler's brand of feminism.
