Riassunto

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

*Brand new interviews with Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Nanette's Hannah Gadsby*

'Everything you wanted to know about feminism but were afraid to ask' Emma Thompson

Why do we find it so hard to say 'No'?
What does poker teach us about power structures?
How can feminism be more inclusive?

The Guilty Feminist will challenge you, reassure you and empower you to see the world differently.

From workplace inclusion to intersectionality, #MeToo to men's rights, rom-coms to pornography, Deborah Frances-White tackles urgent questions for the modern woman. Featuring interviews with activists, businesswomen and all-round inspirations, The Guilty Feminist examines how women can abandon their guilt, say No (when they mean it), say Yes (when they want to), and to change the world - and ourselves - for the better.

Recensione

This really is the "everything you have always wanted to know about feminism but were afraid to ask" manual. From a mind as lucid and witty as it is kind and empathetic comes essential reading for the planet (Emma Thompson)

Breathes life into conversations about feminism (Phoebe Waller-Bridge, creator of Fleabag)

Quite possibly the defining feminist of our generation (Elizabeth Day, author of How to Fail)

Very funny, very clever, very thoughtful and very relevant (Dolly Alderton, author of Everything I Know About Love)

A passionate, funny, fresh, thought-provoking read, as engaging as it's informative (Barbara Ellen, Observer)

An incredible read on confidence, gender and looking after ourselves and each other (Aisling Bea)

Slicing through the fun and foibles of twenty-first-century womanhood with deft and funny prose, the book covers everything "from our noble goals to our worst hypocrisies". Existing fans of her podcast and newcomers alike will love this irreverent guide to a very modern tug of war (Red)

Brims with facts and inspiring women you might not have heard of but are now glad you have ... [Deborah Frances-White's] mixture of wit, fallibility and inclusivity is immensely appealing ... The book emboldens women to find their voice, to say no more often, yes less, and to demand more than the 75p in the pound they get paid compared with men. Her genius for satire is what makes her voice so sonorous - her Open Letter from the Gentlemen of Hollywood, a riposte to the Weinstein saga, is worth the cover price alone. (Sunday Times)

The Guilty Feminist is accessible and honest, written with warmth. And the openness with which she and other contributors discuss their struggles make the book feel like a discussion with friends over a glass of wine . . . it is full of inspiring and challenging ideas, encouraging every woman to say: "I get to be heard. I deserve to be seen" (Daily Express)

A thorough look at how to be a better feminist and a better person, but manages to be funny and entertaining too ... I really appreciate that it looks at what we can practically do to make things better (Amy Jones The Pool)
