I once live-tweeted the September issue.' In these funny and insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of colour (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). I read Vogue, and I’m not doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink.
I used to say my favourite colour was black to be cool, but it is pink – all shades of pink. I embrace the label of bad feminist because I am human.
I cannot tell you how freeing it has been to accept this about myself.
