FictionNightbitch by Rachel Yoder "exudes terf energy"
Posted January 2, 2022 by JanesHeir in Books

I recently finished the novel Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder. While the slur in the title might not seem feminist, the book feels out of its time in acknowledging and raging against the ways heterosexual marriage and motherhood can imprison women. It's being compared to "The Yellow Wallpaper." There's no gender woo and a good deal of critique of the ways (even white, liberal) women get told they don't matter. I'd love to hear other RadFems' perspectives on its portrayals of female instinct, animality, violence, ambition, and art!

Eta: there's a Goodreads review declaring it "exudes terf energy."
