Brave by Rose McGowanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
McGowan's life has been remarkable. She grew up in a cult in Italy, moved to the US and lived in poverty, and embarked on a career in Hollywood as an emacipated youth. Her memoir is eye-opening with regards to how at-risk youth are victimized and how powerful and corrupt Hollywood is.
This is more than a memoir though. It's a book about feminism but it's also a book about thinking clearly outside the control of society and the control of personal relationships. Her unique perspective lets her see these controls as cult-like and destructive.
