A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND FOUNDER OF THE
EVERYDAY SEXISM PROJECT, LAURA BATES. 'Following [Everyday Sexism]
will make most women feel oddly saner.' Caitlin Moran 'Piercingly
astute.' Stylist Laura Bates, pioneering feminist, activist and
bestselling author, has given voice to hundreds of thousands of
women through her international Everyday Sexism Project. Drawing
attention to both hidden and blatant sexist acts and attitudes,
Laura has exposed the startling truth behind misogyny in our
society: systemic, ingrained and ignored. From Weinstein to
Westminster, a torrent of allegations of sexual harassment and
assault have left us reeling. One hundred years since some women
were first given the right to vote, we are still struggling to get
to grips with the true extent of gender inequality that continues
to flourish in our society. In this collection of essays,
originally published in the Guardian, Laura Bates uncovers the
sexism that exists in our relationships, our workplaces, our media,
in our homes and on our streets, but which is also firmly rooted in
our lifelong assumptions and in the actions and attitudes we
explain away, defend and accept. Often dismissed as one-offs,
veiled as 'banter' or described as 'isolated incidents',
MISOGYNATION joins the dots to reveal the true scale of
discrimination and prejudice women face. A bold, witty and incisive
analysis of current events, MISOGYNATION makes a passionate
argument for stepping back, opening our eyes and allowing ourselves
to see the bigger picture. IN PRAISE OF LAURA BATES 'Funny and
clever.' Telegraph 'Girl Up is an essential compendium of wit,
wisdom, advice and straight-talk.' Sarah Knight 'We owe Bates a
great debt of gratitude for her Everyday Sexism Project.' LA Times
'Laura was one of the first women to harness the power of social
media to fight sexism and misogyny and give millions of young women
a voice.' Grazia 'Bates takes a myth-busting approach to body
image, food, sex and advertising and is particularly good at
boiling down feminist language into a snappy, everyday vernacular'
Metro 'For any woman who is sick of being told how to act, how to
dress, or how to ward off unwanted advances, [Girl Up] is for you.
Independent '[Girl Up is] another hard-hitting book which exposes
the truth surrounding pressures on body image, false
representations in the media, and lots of issues very relevant to
girls today. Red
