You don't have to like me : essays on growing up, speaking out, and finding feminism

Summary: Alida Nugent is a lot of things: writer of jokes for Internet consumption. Bold explorer of cheese-related culinary pursuits. Unapologetic aficionado of cheap white wine, bad reality shows, and dark lipstick. She's also a feminist. Still, it took Nugent a long time to call herself one -- and even longer to declare it publically. Now, she's drawing a line in the sand: she's going to talk about it. From how to deal with catcallers on the way to the grocery store to navigating the social minefield of declaring yourself feminist at a party, Nugent takes on a slew of cultural norms.
