Just read in today’s NY Times magazine an interview of Jessica Valenti, Founder of Feministing. Well believe it or not, they are the most widely read publication that there is: the blog received 600,000 readers this month so obviously she has succeed in making Feminism cool again for women online. Her blog and then her book, Full Frontal Feminism, a young women’s guide to why Feminism matters, is her attempt to break down the cliches such as Feminists are Ugly, Feminism is for old ladies, But things are fine the way they are, etc.

And it is followed by many other chapters such as Feminist do it better (and other sex tips), Pop World gone wild, Beauty Cult and more. I have yet to read it but will because her voice is witty and and most definitely the reflexion of the younger generation. And when was the last time you laughed reading a feminist paper??

The next Femninisting event happening in New York is PROGRESSIVE SINGLE MINGLE a cocktail party for the left-leaning – Find a lover, mate, date, partner, soul mate, friend, fling….or all of the above! Thursday November 19th @ People Lounge, 163 Allen St., bet. Rivington and Stanton, New York, NY

Since Jessica Valenti recently got married, she’s obviously is familiar with her subject matter.
