What I really like about this book, besides the fact that Harris-Perry is one of the most honest authors I have ever read, is the fact that it is about women and politics, and not about women and media. However, the most distrubing section (and most powerful in some cases) is the brief paragraphs were Harri-Perry mentions a desire by a certain group to errect a Mammy monument on the National Mall, right near the Lincoln Memorial.It is a very powerful book, though at times very analytical. Yet, considering the quasi keruffle about race in my city at the time I read this, I found to be very timely (and far more revelent).I like the fact that the politics were dealt with though sterotypes. I learned much and will most likely watch tv to find Harri-Perry actually talking.
