Description
The Sunday Times Bestseller
'This really is the "everything you have always wanted to know about feminism but were afraid to ask" manual. Essential reading for the planet' β Emma Thompson
In 2015 I described myself as 'guilty feminist' for the first time. My goals were noble but my concerns were trivial. I desperately wanted to close the pay gap, but I also wanted to look good sitting down naked.
A funny, joyful, frank, and inspiring book about embracing both feminism and our imperfections, from the creator of the hit comedy podcast, Deborah Frances-White.
From inclusion to the secret autonomy in rom coms, from effective activism to what poker can tell us about power structures, Deborah explores what it means to be a twenty-first-century feminist, and encourages us to make the world better for everyone.
The book also includes exclusive interviews with performers, activists and thinkers β Jessamyn Stanley, Zoe Coombs Marr, Susan Wokoma, Bisha K. Ali, Reubs Walsh, Becca Bunce, Amika George, Mo Mansfied, and Leyla Hussein β plus a piece from Hannah Gadsby.
Praise for The Guilty Feminist:'[Deborah Frances-White's] mixture of wit, fallibility and inclusivity is immensely appealing' β Sunday Times
'Hilarious, irreverent, eternally surprising, classy as hell, genius comedians . . . It's shows like this that breathe life into conversations about feminism' β Phoebe Waller-Bridge
'Tackles issues from democracy to sexuality to porn with a lightness and hilarity that makes even the newly ordained feminist feel at home' β Scarlett Curtis, Sunday Times
'Wildly successful ... The Guilty Feminist addresses the major feminist issues of the twenty-first century while also celebrating our glorious imperfections' β Marie Claire Australia
