Lindy West isn't shy about speaking out on difficult subjects. A popular blogger, West has written frankly on topics ranging from her own abortion to why she couldn't wait to be "a fat bride." West brings the same candor to her first book "Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman." We'll talk to West about her book, the role popular culture plays in feminist politics and taking the power back from internet trolls.
