Liar, slut, barren old maid, dumb blond: These are just a few of the labels women have had to deal with just for being women. But in new essay collections from four funny females, some insult-inviting qualities become strengths. Kelly Oxford, Ophira Eisenberg, Jen Kirkman and Selena Coppock speak from the heart about their lives, and at the same time, stick it to the insidious overlords of the patriarchal hegemony. Or something like that, we think.
