It just didn't really belong on a list geared toward feminist literature. However, after reading Sisters Red I've come to the conclusion that it wasn't censored. All the stuff in censored books exists off the pages of the book even if you clench your eyes tight and pretend it's not there. Their little feet are visible, but they think if they can't see you then they're well hidden. It's like playing hide and seek with a three year old who hides under a table or behind a curtain. People just get curious about the why and really there's nothing more pointless than pretending a book doesn't exist. Book censorship is basically one of the most ridiculous things you can do. I'm one of those people who will read censored books just because they were censored. I read the review on Book Smuggler and purchased Sisters Red. Someone linked to a review on Book Smuggler. I purchased Sisters Red because it was censored off of Bitch Magazine's 100 Young Adult Books for the Feminist Reader.
