All the Cool Girls Are Anarchists: A Girl's Quest to Be Radical

By Sarah Jean Gosney

In All the Cool Girls Are Anarchists, I recall my adventures leaving the shelter of a Southeastern suburb for a university, where I found my sister in a community of radical progressives. That first semester, my high school sweetheart broke my heart. I thought we'd go off to college together, get good jobs, and settle down to a boring suburban life like our parents. He ended our relationship, fracturing my world. Soon after, I fell into an intense romance, only to have my heart dashed once again. I flailed, grasping for a way of life that worked. So, I threw myself in with my sister and her unconventional friends. I found these people fascinating. They ate out of dumpsters. They were polyamorous. They recycled and composted religiously and formed a collective for everything. I desperately wanted to be part of them, but always, something didn't feel right. Soon enough, I began to see their world unravel at the edges. That's when I began to fall in love with a graduate student-a redneck scholar who both knew how to work with his hands and philosophize with the best of them. Before I knew it, I was being seduced back to the "dark side"-the world of my parents.
