Dr Rs academic paper which was not written by her is very dry and diificult to read. It talks about austerity and how that’s basically Monroes USP. It also looks at her middle class background and the barrier that raises between her and the working class. The inferences are more interesting than the conclusions for me.
“Monroe utilises a form of feminist anger, affect and irreverent rage (
Wood, 2019) in her personal testimonies which is politically productive and can be understood as having the potential to enact change”
Not that she is saying that Monroe could enact change but that she utilises the forms that could. That I do find interesting.
Her platform, which she has never used to anything like it’s full potential, is a springboard that could enact real change in the hands of actual working class women. I’m sure of that. The potential is there, just Jacks too thick and lazy to use it. Although probably she just doesn’t care enough.
It doesn't mention her dodgy dealings at all. i don’t think that was its purpose.
Id be interested to know what other better educated Fraus think. Mine is an academically uninformed viewpoint
Ill read it a couple of times more because I’m sure I missed a lot of nuance
