Amber Tamblyn, ERA OF IGNITION

Amber: Era of Ignition really looks at this wild, chaotic world that we're living in right now, and especially in the United States post-Me Too and Time's Up in the last two years since that has happened … and this sense of we're not able to control what is happening. There seems to be a lot of anger and a lot of protests and a lot of questioning about supremacy and identity and all of the things that should matter to us as a country and as a culture, things like white feminism for instance, which is a very triggering word for a lot of white women. Whereas in this book, I really offer that it's important to lean into that and to not be afraid to be uncomfortable. My argument for the book is looking at how we can harness our own fears and the chaos of this moment into something really productive and profound and powerful and to not shy away from the fact that, especially women, we are in the center of a revolution right now. To call it anything less really undermines us and what we're all trying to do collectively to have more representation and equality in the world we want to live in.
