Every day, all around the world, women are reinventing what it means to be female in cultures where power, privilege or basic freedoms are all too often equated with being male. Here, Caroline Criado-Perez, one of the most vocal and tenacious campaigners of her generation, introduces us to some of these pioneering women. We meet the first woman to cross the Antarctic alone; we meet a female fighter pilot in Afghanistan; we meet a climate change activist who scaled new heights; we meet a Chilean revolutionary turned politician; we meet the Russian punks who rocked out against Putin; and we meet the Iranian journalist who dared to uncover her hair.

Recensione:
'If all the campaigning rhetoric has left you cold, you can relight the radical fire in your soul with this blisteringly essential manifesto. Eminently readable and deeply inspiring' - Editor's Choice, Bookseller

'Do It Like A Woman is a compelling account of the ubiquitousness of violence and discrimination against women. It's full of fascinating stories and facts - Prospect

'Criado-Perez is having the last word, and it's a very eloquent and powerful one at that. As those who stick their heads above the parapet for the rest of us can attest all too well, it's likely that the online abuse will continue apace. But that's precisely what makes Do It Like a Woman so very essential' - Irish Independent

'Need inspiring? Do It Like A Woman brings together stories of kick-ass women from around the world who have shown great heroism and bravery. It's rousing and immensely readable' -- 'Best New Nonfiction', Good Housekeeping

'Striking... It is refreshing to read a feminist work informed by lives far removed from that of the author. Like any woman who is vocal in the public sphere, Criado-Perez has been obsessively threatened. She doesn't dwell on the experience, instead using her platform to shed light on the lives of others. There is bravery in that, too' -- Guardian

'Well researched and packs a punch' -- Sunday Herald
'A must-read... Put it on the curriculum' -- Sunday Irish Independent

'An inspiration to change the world' -- 'Best Summer Read' Elle

'A brave, heartfelt and necessary book' --Sunday Times

'An immersive piece of investigative journalism, strong on sound facts and figures, finding interconnections and then leaving readers space to draw their own conclusions. The pleasure of Do It Like A Woman is that it's about other women - their campaigns, their political interventions, their stories. In a world overstuffed with tedious me-myself-and-I-as-hero-of-my-own-narrative books, Criado-Perez has had the good sense to deliver an overview that grasps the essential impetus of feminism - as collective, connective action by a diversity of women whose voices are as brave and informed as Criado-Perez's. Criado-Perez shares some of the clarity and in insight of the young Shulamith Firestone' --New Statesman

'Young girls and women everywhere should have a copy as a reminder of how awesome women are' -- Bridget Christie, Guardian Books of the Year --Guardian
