From the critics:
Ann Powers: “Calling a young woman a slut may be a way of shutting her down, but Emily White opens up the term until it turns into a magical hall of mirrors, revealing all the ways in which fear of female power still shapes our culture. Ranking with the groundbreaking work of the Second Wave, much fiercer than most of what passes for feminist writing now, Fast Girls takes the discussion of the politics of sex to the next level.”
Gary Indiana: “Emily White’s marvelous investigation of the ‘myth of the slut’ brings high school back in livid color and shows how its tribal outcasts get scarred for life bu the cruelty of the mob.”
