Amazing Disgrace: A Book About "Shame"

Product Information

Grace's discussions on sex and the bad aspects of sex, the shame women are forced to feel, the problems surrounding the lack of education, the lack of discussions surrounding consent, the impact of the internet on our generation, and the reality that rape comes in many forms are an important part of this book.

Things like her right to privacy or her relationships with her parents, which were inevitably strained by the bucktoothed allure of Blair. I now see shame as this dirty little secret, which is bequeathed from one female generation to another. In many ways this book served as a validation that I wasn't alone in my teenage experiences and feelings.Another reason I related so much to the book was that there’s a self-awareness that runs throughout the chapters, acknowledging the intersectionality of women and their experiences, the common grounds and the vast differences across socioeconomic backgrounds, racial identities, sexualities and beyond. Ummmm, I don't wanna say I didn't enjoy it because there were plenty of moments that really resonated with me and also I laughed out loud at, but I duno. I absolutely love Grace, but I put off reading this for a little while because I was apprehensive that it would scream privilege and be vastly unrelatable. From the first encounter, when Grace pleasures herself, to the wild drug and drink fuelled nights of one night stands, as well as her journey learning to love herself, vagina included. Like Grace, and many other women, I had a complicated relationship with my body growing up and I fell foul to many social pressures.

I assumed I wouldn’t relate to her shenanigans on account of the fact she’s white and has grown up with privileges I couldn’t dream of ever having. As I am also in my 20s, she speaks about things that are crazily relatable, and the feminist angle to her comedy is on point.Instead, it was charming, funny, reassuring, and the pick me up I absolutely needed while the world is going up in flames. I don't think this book will appeal to all as in places it's quite crude, however it does have some really important messages and it's refreshingly honest. Uma mensagem por e-mail será enviada antes do término do período gratuito, que pode ser cancelado a qualquer momento. Grace breaks that barrier by speaking openly about her shame of her own body, how her sexual experiences helped shaped her as well as covering topics such as STD's, sex education, porn and consent.

I am a self-professed alcoholic bookworm who has spent a substantial period of her life falling into very similar traps as Grace Campbell. I know some people have really enjoyed this and some haven’t, that’s totally fine, the book world would be boring if everyone loved the same books. There were also several sadder and darker anecdotes about Grace’s personal life, but she turned them into something to learn from and things she’d tell her younger self (or us, the readers).
