Muscio has got guts to write such a book and I think that opinions should be heard, but only if they are supported. Opinions are fine and dandy. People have opinions on everything, and some express them vehemently, irregardless of any kind of eviodence or support. However, in academic settings there has to be some kind of basis for the opinion, otherwise it is just amature speculation. At times, Muscio has valid perspectives on many topics, but at others it is clear that she is just specualting based on her very different and specialized experiences. Points of view cannot be taken seriously if there are no facts to back them up. It is one thing to write about personal experiences and leave it at that. A person can share all they want in whatever creative form they want and their work will most likely be taken as an inlet into another view of the world and its happenings. But Muscio has written a manifesto that she wants all women to engage in, and I do not think that that is possible in the form she has presented it in. The book is a very interesting piece that sparks a lot of different questions at the prevailing system. Nonetheless there are many aspects of the book that are just too far-fetched for many people to jump on board with Muscio's womanifesto. I agree that this is a provoking and engaging read and I did like reading it. I just think that the editor and the publisher could have been a little bit more involved than they were. The work is just a little too raw and incredible to be taken seriously.
