## Description

With humor, rage, and confessional detail, Virginie Despentes—in her own words “more King Kong than Kate Moss”—delivers a highly charged account of women’s lives today. She explodes common attitudes about sex and gender, and shows how modern beauty myths are ripe for rebelling against. Using her own experiences of rape, prostitution, and working in the porn industry as a jumping-off point, she creates a new space for all those who can’t or won’t obey the rules.

Review: Challenging Feminism - King Kong Theory is a great book. I'm not usually a fan of things that bank on shock factor for impact (i.e., her "Rape Me" shenanigans), but this one is insightful and radical and challenging and yet earnest and true. Encourages diversity of thought and insightful exploration of another person's point of view. There are some things in there that will hit you hard if you let them.
Review: Raw and powerful. - Defiant, raw, powerful, insightful. A calling of women to the depths of innermost strength and independence. An exploration of identity and resilience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Challenging Feminism
*by E***R on December 30, 2014*

King Kong Theory is a great book. I'm not usually a fan of things that bank on shock factor for impact (i.e., her "Rape Me" shenanigans), but this one is insightful and radical and challenging and yet earnest and true. Encourages diversity of thought and insightful exploration of another person's point of view. There are some things in there that will hit you hard if you let them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Raw and powerful.
*by L***T on September 7, 2017*

Defiant, raw, powerful, insightful. A calling of women to the depths of innermost strength and independence. An exploration of identity and resilience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ More a collection of blog posts than a manifesto
*by Y***N on August 5, 2010*

Despentes' thoughts about women's lives are the kind hardly ever heard in either the general media or common discourse, even though her experiences are ones many women will share. This says much more about how our media and discourse is seriously lacking in promoting women's perspectives than because her commentary is revolutionary. For some, this collection of essays may be revealing and inspiring in making them re-evaluate their place in the world or thoughts about other women. The book is a quick read and doesn't pad the discussion. As a book, however, there is not a great deal to it. It struck me that these chapters would make a great collection of online essays as it is not a particularly cohesive work. I rather wish that these discussions could, in fact, be found online so as to inspire more commentary on the ideas raised in it.
