Feminism isn't dead. It just isn't very cool anymore. Enter *Full Frontal Feminism, *a book that embodies the forward-looking messages that author Jessica Valenti propagated as founder of the popular website, Feministing.com.

This revised edition includes a new foreword by Valenti, reflecting upon what’s happened in the five years since *Full Frontal Feminism* was originally published. With new openers from Valenti in every chapter, the book covers a range of topics, including pop culture, health, reproductive rights, violence, education, relationships, and more.

Chapters include:

You’re a Hardcore Feminist. I Swear.

Feminists Do It Better (and Other Sex Tips)

Pop Culture Gone Wild

The Blame (and Shame) Game

If These Uterine Walls Could Talk

My Big Fat Unnecessary Wedding and Other Dating Diseases

“Real” Women Have Babies

I Promise I Won’t Say “Herstory”

Boys Do Cry

Beauty Cult

*Sex and the City* Voters, My Ass

Valenti knows better than anyone that young women need a smart-ass book that deals with real-life issues in a style they can relate to. No rehashing the same old issues or belaboring where today's young women have gone wrong. Feminism should be something young women feel comfortable with. *Full Frontal Feminism* is sending out the message to readers—yeah, you're feminists, and that's actually pretty frigging cool.
