Publisher's Summary

The good feminist's guide to being hot. And cool. And fit (all senses). And maybe - just maybe - a little bit thinner. Or firmer (all senses). And definitely extremely well-dressed. And uncompromised. And right.

Polly Vernon, Grazia columnist, Times feature writer, the artist formerly known as The Observer's Cocktail Girl provides us with a new perspective on feminism. The Hot Feminist is an eight chapter trip through feminism, fashion, the righteous pursuit of a sexy vibe, and what it means to be a woman when you're on the receiving end of modern media's hilariously/bizarrely/insanely contradictory/restrictive/reductive/sometimes just straightforward revolting notions of ladyhood.

From achieving a state of empowered, enlightened hotness to a contemplation of the media's perspective on, manipulation of, and increasingly bizarre relationship with women The Hot Feminist is a refreshing and empowering book for you, the thinking woman.

Exploring her own life long, on-going pursuit of hotness with lessons from 'Zen and the Art of Approaching Topshop' to 'When Is It OK to Slag Off Other Women?', The Hot Feminist will teach you how to seek empowerment through the way you look. This isn't about what women can't do, this is a new-age bible in what you can do, what you can think, what you can wear, and what you can wax.

"I promise I'm cool"

Not really a feminist book. Very few actual opinions, more a punchy but somehow also longwinded monologue about how she's not offended by anything. Read like a naive plea to exclude herself from feminism by pointing out all the feminist contradictions that guys find hot and the author subscribes to, but in a chill way... Ie bikini waxing etc etc. Bored.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
