You Don't Have to Like Me: Essays on Growing Up, Speaking Out and Finding Feminism

You Don't Have to Like Me: Essays on Growing Up, Speaking Out and Finding Feminism, by Alida Nugent, 218 pages

This collection of "essays" felt a little scattered and unpolished, but it did offer an interesting look at what younger feminists feel are the important issues of today. Several of her essays really rang true; including those addressing consent as a topic unaddressed in sex ed classes, and how difficult it can be for women to form meaningful friendships with other women. Nugent's heart is in the right place, even if she doesn't seem to have experience with all of the topics she discusses and sometimes lapses into contradictory statements.
