“Yes, She’s Bossy”
By Chantel White
As a girl, Tina Fey expected her
period to be a light blue liquid. This is the image that stands out to me the
most after reading her self-disclosing autobiography Bossypants. Fey reveals several stories like that one throughout
her book that reveal to the world that she, like most of us, was naïve,
curious, and a bit weird growing up. Fey, an actress, comedian, writer and
producer, lets it all out and lets her readers see who she really is.

I learned
that Fey is actually funnier than I expected. I found myself chuckling several
times throughout the book. I related to her coming of age story about entering
womanhood and learning to accept yourself flaws and all. I admire how hard she
worked to get to where she is today and overcame personal obstacles that led to
her becoming the boss that she is.
Her writing style is unstructured;
she made her own rules when writing this book. After the first dozen pages, I
got the impression that she wrote the book as stories came to mind and this may
turn off readers that prefer to read memoirs that follow a strict chronological
format. Other than the “free” structure of the autobiography, the book is a
good read for girls going into college. Young women who know or may not know
exactly who they are would get a new outlook on how they view themselves and
how they want to present themselves to the world. They would learn, in a very
uncensored way, that it’s OK that they aren’t perfect and that they have things
about themselves that they don’t like, but all of those things are part of who
they are and they should own their strengths to become a bossypants.
