An interesting feminist manifesto that will make you think and give you more knowledge on how to feel empowered. This has made me feel very good and I can't wait to read more from this author.

This for me was a feisty, Girl Power, and life affirming kinda read, that I will be recommending to most women and certainly if you enjoyed the likes of Laura Bates Girl Up, in fact I would liken it to an adult version of that book.
My only criticism would be however it could have been a little smaller, all its points, arguments and information were valid and important but sometimes they were lost in repetitive tangents.
But really that’s a minor flaw because overall this book had me like yes! She has encapsulated her anger and fire so on point and I wanna march, angry mob, shout from the roof with her

Clementine Ford tackles feminism head on in this book, writing about everything from beauty standards, eating disorders, sex, mental health, rape culture and online trolls. I was actually quite surprised at how in-depth this book is, not only through the various topics covered but how far the analysis goes. I've read quite a lot of feminist books but this is the one I've found the most relatable for a very long time.
