About this listen

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 15 seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians)."

In The 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.

What the critics say

"A witty book full of insights, opinions, and good advice." (Kirkus)

"Her 'Open Letter from the Gentlemen of Hollywood', a riposte to the Weinstein saga, is worth the cover price alone." (Sunday Times)

"This really is the 'everything you have always wanted to know about feminism but were afraid to ask' manual. Essential reading for the planet." (Emma Thompson)

Amazing book. Discovered her podcast in early 2016 and have followed along weekly since then. I love how the book takes us through her growth as a feminist, with the acknowledgement that we are all always learning and growing.

Never a disappointment, always informative

A few years back, I discovered The Guilty Feminist podcast while commuting to and from university. It was my beginning and end to the day. I have grown to love this community Deborah has created and look forward to so many guests.
Tackling a serious topic with stand-up - frigging brilliant!
The book is both academic and entertaining. Deborah has a gift for storytelling.
My only wish is that the guests would have been represented by their own voices. I was somewhat distracted by the voice actor when I know some of these actual voices so well.
As usual, this book made
me think about the information I offer my children and the way I respond to questions.
Well done.
Jody
