Emmy-nominated Southern loudmouth Erin Gibson is an expert at mixing social commentary, political satire, and vagina jokes into neat little comedy packages. Based in Los Angeles, she's one half of the Throwing Shade empire, which includes an award-winning political absurdist comedy podcast, international live touring show, the Funny or Die web series and a TV Land late night show. She developed her social commentary chops as the host of Modern Lady and sharpened them writing and directing political sketches for Funny or Die, where you've seen her impersonate terrible women like Michele Bachmann, Megyn Kelly, Michelle Duggar, and Ivanka Trump. She also created the long running Emmy-nominated "Gay of Thrones" starring her real-life hair stylist, Jonathan Van Ness. Feminasty is her debut book of comedic essays.
"Feminasty is laugh-out-loud funny. But it'll also make you
seriously mad. Erin Gibson, co-host of the podcast Throwing Shade,
sheds light on niche women's issues that aren't at the forefront of
the news but desperately need our attention."--HelloGiggles.com
"Erin Gibson--one-half of the crazy-popular Throwing Shade
podcast--is as sharply funny as she is unabashedly feminist. Damn
smart, too. Each of the essays in this book is an eye-opening
lesson in how the patriarchy is working against us, and how to
fight back. #themoreyouknow"--Cosmopolitan
"Gibson blazes across the page like a firework shooting over a
landscape of ALL CAPS and italics for emphasis...Feminasty is a
Best-Friend Book. Reading it feels like having a feminist
hype-woman in your corner. She's taking patriarchal bullies apart
with the catty, flippant venom they deserve. She's pouring you a
glass of something bubbly. She's making you laugh til it runs out
your nose."--Portland Mercury
"Gibson uses her very presence as an act of defiance-she's a loud
Southern lady with size-11 feet who grew up poor white trash-and
readers will be grateful that she can't keep her mouth
shut."--Booklist
"In her edgy, fierce, and funny debut essay collection, comedian
and 'Throwing Shade' podcast cohost Gibson serves up scathing wit
and graphic observations on the 'insane ways people try to control'
women...The result is a bubbly acid bath of clever invective
encouraging her fellow women to make the world a better
place."--Publisher's Weekly
"The rhetorical purposes of the work are clear: Gibson seeks to
lift up women at every opportunity, especially by changing the
gender balance in political power."--Kirkus Reviews
We dare you to find a more relatable book title. Comedian and
Throwing Shade podcast host Erin Gibson gave us the gift of this
collection of omg-I'm-literally-dying level hilarious essays that
tackle the 'hidden rules that make life as a woman harder.' Not
only will you learn sh*t, but you'll also laugh a lot. What could
be better than that?"
