The Guilty Feminist: You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Overthrow the Patriarchy
Autor Deborah Frances-Whiteen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2019
A
witty
take
on
feminism
for
every
woman
who
wants
equality
but
sometimes
wants
a
day
off
from
fighting
for
it
Sometimes
we
feel
a
bit
like
"I'm
a
feminist,
but..."
As
in,
"I'm
a
feminist,
but
I
skipped
the
Women's
March
to
buy
face
cream."
As
in,
"I'm
a
feminist,
but
I've
never
found
time
to
read
Sylvia
Plath
(but
I
have
watched
fifteen
seasons
ofKeeping
Up
with
the
Kardashians)."
InThe
Guilty
Feminist,
Deborah
Frances-White
reassures
us
that
we
don't
have
to
be
perfect
to
be
a
force
for
meaningful
change.
Exploring
big
issues
of
identity,
equality,
intersectionality,
and
the
current
feminist
agenda,
she
explodes
the
myth
of
the
model
activist
and
offers
a
realistic
path
toward
changing
the
world.

Recenzii
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
Breathes life into conversations about feminism
Quite possibly the defining feminist of our generation
Very funny, very clever, very thoughtful and very relevant
A passionate, funny, fresh, thought-provoking read, as engaging as it's informative
An incredible read on confidence, gender and looking after ourselves and each other
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
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.
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"
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
An eloquent, entertaining read that does not shy away from serious issues including pornography and the gender pay gap
Australian comedian Frances-White adapts her popular podcast into book format with this passionate and engaging manifesto, tackling everything from the diet industry to toxic masculinity while reminding readers that feminism isn't a one-size-fits-all kind of deal and sometimes it's ok to stumble
Deborah Frances-White's book has all the joy, complexity, importance and pleasure of The Guilty Feminist podcast
Frances-White has a gift for using metaphor to explain basic feminist concepts
From the hit podcast soon to be a live show, The Guilty Feminist has chapters which all begin with the phrase 'I'm a feminist, but ... ' offering numerous examples where noble intentions falter when set against the challenges of everyday life. Among the topics raised are make-up, rape fantasies, catcalling, manspreading, and 'bridezillas'
