Pants Size: Bossy

Pants Size: Bossy  

By: Maci Johnson 

In her funny, coming-of-age story, Bossypants, actress and comedienne, Tina Fey details important parts in her life that made her the boss she is today. From believing her menstrual cycle would be a blue liquid to producing movies with a child on her hip, Fey’s book details the life of a girl who grew to be a legend in Hollywood. I believe Fey is qualified to write this book because her story can resemble anyone’s life. She is relatable. True, she (along with friend and fellow actress, Amy Poehler) is one of the most known actresses of our time, but her story can speak to any person….specifically, women. This book is a source of public relations for Fey because it is showing female audiences the heights they can reach in a male-dominated world. In her book, Fey had no problem telling anybody what to do or how to do it in order to get things done, a trait most consider “bossy”. However, I see it as empowering. This book can serve as a platform to young girls to encourage them to be confident in their abilities. Don’t let society or the media dictate where you can go, which is what I admire most about this book. From her feminist standpoint, Fey’s tone is encouraging, yet unwavering. Although hilarious, it uplifts, which is definitely needed for girls growing up today. 

I HIGHLY recommend this book. Two thumbs up, standing ovation, ENCORE! Tina Fey is comedic genius and inspiring at the same time. I do think at times the stories were sort of all over the place, but its message is astounding. Way to go, Tina Fey! Keep your head high and your “bossypants” higher!
