Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear . . . and Why

Sheâ€™s everywhere once you start looking for her: the trainwreck.Â
Â
Sheâ€™s Britney Spears shaving her head, Whitney Houston saying, â€œcrack is whack,â€ and Amy Winehouse, dying in front of millions. But the trainwreck is also as old (and as meaningful) as feminism itself.Â

From Mary Wollstonecraftâ€”who, for decades after her death, was more famous for her illegitimate child and suicide attempts than forÂ A Vindication of the Rights of Womanâ€”to Charlotte BrontÃ«, Billie Holiday, Sylvia Plath, and even Hillary Clinton, Sady Doyleâ€™sÂ TrainwreckÂ dissects a centuries-old phenomenon and asks what it means now, in a time when we have unprecedented access to celebrities and civilians alike, and when women are pushing harder than ever against the boundaries of what it means to â€œbehave.â€
Â
Where did these women come from? What are their crimes? And what does it mean for the rest of us? For an age when any form of self-expression can be the one that ends you, Sady Doyleâ€™s book is as fierce and intelligent as it is funny and compassionateâ€”an essential, timely, feminist anatomy of the female trainwreck.
