Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back, written and read by Stacey Dooley. 

Put yourself in their shoes. 

In 2007, Stacey Dooley was a 20-something working in fashion retail. She was selected to take part in the BBC series Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts, which saw her live and work alongside Indian factory workers making clothes for the UK high street. This sparked her series of hugely popular investigations, establishing her as one of BBC3's most celebrated presenters. 

Through the course of her documentary making, Stacey has covered a variety of topics, from sex trafficking in Cambodia to Yazidi women fighting back in Syria. At the core of her reporting are incredible women in extraordinary and scarily ordinary circumstances - from sex workers in Russia to victims of domestic violence in Honduras. 

In her first audiobook, On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back, Stacey draws on her encounters with these brave and wonderful women, using their experiences as a vehicle to explore issues at the centre of female experience. From gender equality and domestic violence to sex trafficking and sexual identity, Stacey weaves these global strands together in an exploration of what it is to be women in the world today.

Incredible book, taking you deep into the lives of women across the world who are over coming horrific barriers and experiences just to survive. A real eye opener and an important piece of work. The reading of it is compassionately and articulately presented by Stacey Dooley herself. Can't recommend enough.

Incredible book

Stacey Dooley is an unexpected serious journalist and documentary maker. As she says herself, she is a girl from Luton who spent her wages of clothes and having fun. Until she didn't any more. Until she became aware of where all the fashion she enjoyed came from, and at what cost. And then began the awakening that has resulted in this important docu-journalist telling essential stories.

I have seen some of her documentaries and I think they work as television because she is not your average journalist - instead she is your average woman. She speaks in a way we can all understand. We all were her, or are her.
This book works equally as well.
Each chapter is about one of the women she met during the making of a documentary. As such, each chapter gives a little more depth to the documentary and, if you have not seen it, makes the reader want to. I know i am going to be binge watching everything she has done now.

Her casual tone and chatty way of speaking makes the hard issues she is actually talking about more stark, more awful and more relevant. She is not preaching - she is just telling you what she thinks and believes. And that is powerful.

A good book worth reading whether you want to watch the documentaries or not. But do - they are worth your time
