Naomi Wolf neither a serious feminist nor thinker

June 20, 2009

VIRGINIA POSTREL ON NAOMI WOLF ON ANGELINA JOLIE:
Unlike Paskin, I do not regard Wolf as “a serious feminist and thinker.” She’s a feminist, certainly, but neither serious nor a thinker. She is an emoter, whose work typically generalizes from her narcissistic neediness to “the female experience.” It is usually an intellectually frivolous approach.
 
But this time it works brilliantly, though not in the way Wolf intends.
Read the whole thing.
 
 
Um, this is news?
