Don't Call Me Princess by Peggy Orenstein

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.ĭon't Call Me Princess 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.

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.

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. The New York Times best-selling 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.'
