Valerie S. (VolunteerVal) -
I wasn't familiar with Wendi Aarons before reading I'm Wearing Tunics Now, her funny and poignant memoir-in-essays.
She's likely always had a great sense of humor, but it was âdiscovered' when the sarcastic letter she wrote to a Proctor and Gamble executive in response to a maxi pad slogan âHave a Happy Periodâ went viral (it's funny and easy to find online).
Tunics is best on audio since it's read by the author. I thoroughly enjoyed her humor as she shares stories from each chapter of her life, cleverly titling each with an item of clothing that represents the stage.
She also chronicles her journey of discovering her voice and using it to speak out on behalf of herself and women everywhere. Content warning: Much of her advocacy takes place in the political arena and her viewpoint is unapologetically liberal.
Ms. Aarons' style of humor won't appeal to all, but for this Gen X woman it was spot on.
