Summary
In this bold and unapologetic celebrity memoir, comedian and sitcom icon Roseanne Barr delivers sharp political satire, behind-the-scenes television stories, and fearless cultural commentary on fame, feminism, class, and controversy.

Roseanne Barr is a force of nature. From revolutionizing the television sitcom with her groundbreaking portrayal of working-class America to challenging social norms on and off screen, she has never played by Hollywood’s rules. Now, in this brash and wildly funny collection of essays, Roseanne unleashes her razor-sharp observations on hypocrisy, hubris, celebrity culture, menopause, pharmaceuticals, politics, religion, and family life.

Raised half-Jewish, half-Mormon—and entirely a misfit—Roseanne reflects on her unlikely rise to fame, the price of stardom, and the cult of celebrity that both built and battered her career. With her signature irreverence, she tackles class warfare, feminism, Kabbalah, media outrage, and the absurdities of modern America. And she’s as controversial, original, and funny as ever.

Part memoir, part comedy manifesto, and part cultural critique, Roseannearchy is a provocative, no-holds-barred look at television fame, political controversy, and the life of one of America’s most outspoken comedians.

Hysterical and informative! Roseanne always goes for broke when she writes, blogs, or speaks. The topics she chose for this book is something I generally wouldn't go for, but being a huge fan of Roseanne and agreeing with most of her ideas, I decided to buy it. I love how Roseanne talks about how she grew up how her grandmothers influenced her life in many ways. I also love her ideas on what her ideal government would look like. It's a very interesting read! Go in with an open mind. It's definitely worth the money. I hope she releases another book soon!
