This was my beautiful and radical introduction to feminism. Muscio's unique blend of humor and outrage turns into a brilliantly crafted book about gender and human respect. Trite as it may be to say, this book changed my life.

Hate the word?
So did I, until I read this book. Muscio researches the term "cunt" and finds that it used be an ancient title of respect for women. Intrigued yet? I appreciate the wealth of information that Muscio makes available for women (and men) because this book forces you to stop and think.

Even if you don't agree with her every word, it's difficult (if not impossible) to remain in the same mindset after reading it. Not only does she tackle subjects that are generally ridiculed or sanitized for PC reasons (ie. birth control options, rape, sexism against women, prostitution, abortion), but she also discusses her own growth and knowledge of her sexuality and her mother's personal experience with rape.

Highly recommended.

Honestly, I LIVE by this book. I have bought several copies to give out to my friends, and they have said the same thing to me! Saying Cunt is an amazing read is an understatement. I reread it each year, spout quotes during heated conversations with friends, cite paragraphs in papers for college, and still continually use the shopping/information guide in the back of the book. This is a must-buy for everyone....I believe it should be a required read for high schoolers, especially boys! This book could change the world!
