Summary: FANTASTIC!!
Review: "Cunt" is making me laugh, smile, giggle, and wince in recognition. What a fabulous tome! Go out and buy this book from your local independent bookstore! Muscio's prose is inviting, engaging, silly, and right on!

It's interesting that the negative reader reviews have all been so harsh and vitriolic. This book is a very welcome breath of fresh air. Imagine, actually *celebrating* womanhood! I know, what a radical concept, right? Too bad that some men and self-hating women can't get past all the crap they've been taught about women and feminists. Women are beautiful! Feminists are beautiful!

Long live Inga Muscio and cuntlove!

Summary: victim mentality
Review: This book was a wonderful instruction booklet of how to turn your "i am an opressed white upper middle class woman" vicitim mentality around by using the techniques of the oppressive upper middle class white male structure.

Highly recommended for white girls whose parents sent them to a liberal arts college but who feel a little lost in the world as far as identifying what their real "issues" are and exactly how to combat their "oppression" as "victims" of society.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a vitally important book, thank you Inga!
Review: Reading this book affirms the beliefs that we as women know to be true inside ourselves but on which we are so rarely encouraged or even allowed to openly hold forth. Inga Muscio speaks the truth and what a powerful sense of freedom she offers to those who will open these pages and read. The word cunt had always held such fear and revulsion for me and to realize how in so many insidious ways this extended to our perception of ourselves as women, chilled me. While reading this book, I cried and laughed and interrupted my husband more then a dozen times as shared with him the words that showed me the way to be free. Our society makes this road very difficult to navigate and this book can be your guide. Reflect on the title, it has so much to say to all of us. Change the way you perceive the word cunt and you change the way you percieve yourself. I will be sure all of my friends have an opportunity to read this book and I will tell all women that they no longer have to be afraid.

Summary: BORING AND PRETENTIOUS
Review: THIS BOOK WAS A BIG DISAPOINTMENT. IT HAS OBVIOUSLY RECIEVED THIS UNWARRENTED ATTENTION DUE TO THE PLETHORA OF BLIND SUPPORT IN THE NEOFEMMINIST MOVEMENT. IT WAS BORING AND PRETENTIOUS

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was v. good.
Review: It's been a long time since I've read a book that I couldn't put down. I read chapters at work with post it notes over the probably offending title and found myself scowling at customers who interefered with the amazingly conversational and engaging flow of this book. Cunt will remind you why it is so much hard work and fun to be a woman. And you'll wish you were best friends with the author. Silly, angry, thoughtful, resourceful, generous and absorbing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Written with strength, humor and love of womanhood.
Review: How wonderful to read a book written by a woman, about being a woman, without the usual androcentrism of male bashing, or how to snag the man of your dreams. Muscio writes with such clarity and frankness that there is no room for self-pity. She writes frankly about some of her prior life experiences and decisions without making excuses or blaming men. Rather, she is absolutely focused on the power that she has harnessed as a result, and encourages other women to find and harness their own woman power.

The title of this book is so stark that many will, unfortunately, miss out on how beautifully and with such love that it is written. Still, it is the most powerful book that I have read in a long time. Moreover, I strongly recommend this as a resource for any sort of womens' support group or literary group. I would also recommend this for college curricula in a feminist studies or gender class (in conjunction with "Reviving Ophelia"), provided the title will not prevent it from being carried on a campus bookstore.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pure Brilliance!!!!
Review: While being pro-female, this book never subscribed to anti-male sentiment or overly feministic posturing. An essential for every woman or anyone who's ever had a mother, sister, girlfriend or female figure in their lives. Armed with superior intelligence and a wicked sense of humor, Inga Muscio is pure brilliance!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who says feminism is dead?
Review: I immediately gave this book to a friend when I was done and ordered more copies to pass around. I am going to give one to my daughter, my mother, and a few friends. It is profound and accessible - you will laugh, you will cry and hopefully, you will hear...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cunt... is a must read for every woman.
Review: Now that I have read this book I cannot imagine not having read it. I want every woman I know to own cunt and utilize the resources within it. Musico writes in a comfortable, approchable voice that allows you to imagine the two of you are drinking a cup of tea and having an intimate conversation which she will beg you to repeat to every woman you meet. This book should go on your shelf next to Our Bodies Ourselves, Beloved, Bastard Out of Carolina,Geek Love, and anything by the Guerrilla Girls. This is required reading for all you high minded women out there. When you are done reading this book you will never be the same....and that my friends is a good thing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book every PERSON should read!
Review: Cunt : Declaration of Independence by Inga Muscio, should be a classic book! A book with a shocking title, that lures you in! This book by far, is the best book about a woman's body, for all readers, not just women. Inga, is truly a wordsmith, that commands a high power vocabulary and uses it through-out this book. Buy it, Read it! Share it with your friends/spouses.
