You're Only A Goddess If You Agree With Her Politics?
I was extremely disappointed in this book. The author doesn't try to be inclusive to all women, but rather only those who agree with her radical leftist ideology, bashing Republicans and Christians in every other paragraph. Typical narrow minded pap - if you don't play on her team, you are not worthy of being included in her little goddess circle. This book is not so much about female empowerment as it is a manifesto of the author's own bigotry against those of us with different points of view. I wish I'd saved my money.

Ish.
This book - actually, it's the author - is disgusting. For some bafflingly strange reason, my mom received this book for Christmas. Being a curious 16-year old daughter, I decided to flip through it after finding it atop the pile of books she never reads. It looks as if you're seeking to "Rule the World As a Smartmouth Goddess," there are going to be a few drawbacks. You cannot be religious, conservative, or heterosexual because Gilman will iron your head with paragraph after paragraph about how much of a disgrace you are to elite feminism.
If you're in the middle of reading a passage about how eating sensibly is so un-sexy or how exercise is fascism, beware of an out-of-the-blue, page-long bash toward a certain Republican politician who was such a fool for mentioning he's kept up with the same morals for 20 years, as if morals are something that are supposed to alter periodically.
Surely this can be classified as an "if you don't like it, don't read it" book...but its title is quite misleading.
In order to be a real woman, I see you have to be a bleeding-heart liberal feminist. That is all.
PS: Those of you who are not for gay marriage are really just lacking in your personal love life. Because Susan Jane Gilman says so.
And to those of you who exert physical activity throughout the day instead of sitting on the couch throwing food at Republicans on TV, skip a relaxing bubble bath and inconveniently run to Vegas where it's more exciting.
In the vile words of Gilman..."Oh my goddess."

Sadly Unimpressed
I was so looking forward to reading this book, and I hate the fact that I could not even finish it. What a let down. There are some bits that are funny. My favorites were the quotes from her grandmother. But as the pages turn she seems to be saying the same thing over and over and over again. She almost sounds bitter and that is really no fun. And she makes a lot of lists. This is suppose to be a witty, girl power book not a how-to book. Similar Products
