À propos de cet audio
An ancient title of respect for women, the word "cunt" long ago veered off this noble path. Inga Muscio traces the road from honor to expletive, giving women the motivation and tools to claim "cunt" as a positive and powerful force in their lives.
In this fully revised edition, she explores, with candidness and humor, such traditional feminist issues as birth control, sexuality, jealousy between women, and prostitution with a fresh attitude for a new generation of women. Sending out a call for every woman to be the Cuntlovin' Ruler of Her Sexual Universe, Muscio stands convention on its head by embracing all things cunt-related. This edition is fully revised with updated resources, a new foreword from sexual pioneer Betty Dodson, and a new afterword by the author.
"Bright, sharp, empowering, long-lasting, useful, sexy...." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Cunt provides fertile ground for psychological growth." (San Francisco Bay Guardian)
"Cunt does for feminism what smoothies did for high-fiber diets - it reinvents the oft-indigestible into something sweet and delicious." (Bust Magazine)
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Still a classic after 20+ years
Halfway through, I thought I might not be able to finish it, given that I was struggling with the cisnormative and trans-exclusionary language. If you listen through, however, Inga directly addresses the backlash the first edition of the book received and redeems this very poignant criticism.
In this context, the book is a dry-witted, low-key, first-person manifesto of 90's riot-grrrl eco-feminism. The kind of book only the author could read in audio format because of its personal subject matter. The fact that the book's gone through multiple editions and addresses many lines of intersectionality's all you need to know to make a judgement about its suitability for you.
The book's central theme's more important now, with the setbacks facing gender inclusion and equity created by the pandemic and the overturning of Roe v. Wade But the first edition was written before that, and before marriage equality and before anti-trans bathroom bills. The book doesn't attack trans people, but it does, in its first edition, reflect the rhetoric of a time when trans people were under attack almost exclusively by TERFs and invisible to the rest of the world. Some of it remains, but the author does correct this in second edition revisions.
I give it five stars because the author reads it with all the quirkiness, humour, and charisma she wrote with in the print edition, it's an affirming listen, and has the ambient charm of an in-person reading of the book at your local independent bookseller.

Early Generation Feminism
I kept having to remind myself that this book was written a long time ago.
A lot of the ideas that the author presents (and pushes, and pushes, and pushes) are ideas that are no longer considered progressive feminism.
If you read this book as if it's a period piece, it'll feel less offensive.
