Summary

 THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Breathes life into conversations about feminism' PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE

'Very funny, very clever, very thoughtful and very relevant' DOLLY ALDERTON

Why do we find it so hard to say 'No'?
How can feminism be more inclusive?
What can rom-coms tell us about taking charge?

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

From 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.

Includes interviews with Jessamyn Stanley * Zoe Coombs Marr * Susan Wokoma * Phoebe Waller-Bridge * Hannah Gadsby * Reubs Walsh * Bisha K. Ali * Becca Bunce * Mo Mansfield * Leyla Hussein * Amika George

Critic reviews

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)

I’m a fan of the guilty feminist podcast and would have liked some more fresher material/subject matter but just like the podcasts it was inclusive, important, non judgemental and incredible Ernest. Lots of the brilliant and entertaining DFW doing the very Ernest dance of linguistically tiptoeing around discussions painfully trying to use the right words and offend no one. I can relate.

This book is full of insanely important historical facts and explanations of pinnacle Feminist points. It has helped me find better explanations to create allies, feel confident in my quest and find peace with my personal 'I'm a Feminist but...'.

This is my book for #Popsugar prompt 22 - it made me nostalgic because I so loved listening to the podcast and the amazing FB group before the latter imploded.
Since this book I have started listening to the podcast again - yay

I think Francis-White makes feminism so accessible and so understandable she should be a national treasure. She also admits to making mistakes and getting things wrong. Through this she makes making mistakes okay and part of the learning process rather than the end of any attempt to improve ourselves. If we do not admit this we never learn.

This is a funny, touching and diverse look at how to be better feminists, how to be more inclusive and how to recognise where you went/go/are going wrong
So often through this book I was thinking Wow or YES!! YES! YES!
I feel inspired and motivated to do more, learn more, be more.

A wonderful book and the audiobook is read by the author and she does it so well I kept thinking she was chatting rather than reading.

Everyone should read this book and become better human beings.

Fabulous
