“Feminist is a prismatic word—defined by lived moments and long thought, admonitions of the self and worldly interrogations. In Portrait of a Feminist, Marianna Marlowe provides a moving, intimate look at her own relationship to both the word and the ideal with grace and vigor, using small moments to illuminate big ideas and the personal to unveil the universal.”—Beth Kephart, National Book Award Finalist and author of Tomorrow Will Bring Sunday’s News: A Novel “A stunning memoir that masterfully weaves together personal history and the broader sociopolitical struggles of feminism. With a voice that is both powerful and intimate, Marlowe invites readers into her multifaceted world as a Peruvian American woman navigating the intersections of race, gender, and culture. Much like Crying in H Mart and How to Raise a Feminist Son, this memoir offers a deeply personal exploration of identity, while grappling with questions that resonate universally.”—Sandy Schnakenburg, author of The Housekeeper's Secret “Many women, especially women of color, can appreciate this book. A real and raw read, this memoir can resonate with women everywhere, whether they identify as a feminist or not.”—Memoir Magazine Book Review
