To Be Real

These twenty-one inspiring young activists and intellectuals recast the ideals of feminism to reflect their own personal experiences and convictions, determined to expand the bounds of feminism to include social, political, and economic equality for all humankind. They speak out, inspired by activist and writer Rebecca Walker, questioning many of their preconceptions about the womens movement and urging readers to see a new link between the personal and the political. They bravely express their release from feminist ideals that contradict with the reality of who they are, unveil shocking truths, and admit long-hidden accommodations and abnormalities, black and white, male and female, homosexual and straight. To Be Real is a roadmap for the formation of a new political force that is both controversial and provocative. ‍
