Leora Tanenbaum's Slut! is an account of the lives of young women who stand up to the destructive power of name-calling. Slut! seamlessly weaves together three narrative threads: powerful oral histories from an impressive and diverse group of girls and women who tell us their stories and how they finally overcame sexual labelling; Leora's own fascinating story; and her cogent analysis of the underlying problem of sexual stereotyping.
