Synopsis
A passionate manifesto with personal stories, anecdotes, and opinions from the front lines of modern American womanhood from actor, filmmaker, and activist Amber Tamblyn
Amber Tamblyn is one of the most talked-about feminist voices today. Through her fierce op-eds in media outlets such as the New York Times, Glamour, and Hollywood Reporter and her work as a founder of the Time’s Up organization, Tamblyn has tackled subjects including discrimination, sexual assault, reproductive rights, and pay parity, among others.
Now, Tamblyn examines the very paradigm our society is built on, pulling at the threads of the ingrained patriarchal and misogynistic fabric. Tamblyn presents her insightful and pointed take on the current state of feminism and expertly weaves together her own experiences and opinions with the larger movement. In her late twenties and early thirties, Tamblyn experienced a crisis of character and a gradual awakening–her own era of ignition–that enabled her to take back the power in her own life and find her own voice as a bold, outspoken, and respected advocate for women’s rights.
My Thoughts
Era of Ignition is a well-written novel by Amber Tamblyn who lays out a few her own stories and her involvement with the #MeTOO movement and feminism overall. I love how she is passionate and her involvement with women issues and how she doesn't back down with things she has done in her life and how she owns her shit. I also like how she invited other people into the conversation on topics she felt she didn't know a lot about. Some people find vocal women as hard and unlikeable but I applaud anyone who puts themselves out there and stands up to others and what they believe in. This is a mash-up of lots of things but one book that you can definitely learn something from.
