About this listen
'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©2018 Laura Bates (P)2018 Simon & Schuster Audio UK

EVERYBODY should read this book!
great read! narration was pleasant.
message was important though based more on UK and 2017ish, still relevant to other places and times.
great guide for how we all should take a closer look at endemic bad habits that slip through daily cracks and become social norms that should not be accepted by anyone. We ALL have women in our lives, misogyny should not be a thing. everyone was bought into the world by a mother who sacrificed herself for a child. that is the first love. to hate women goes against basic nature.
highly recommended!
