  • From Scarlett's captivating and grounding introduction to angry tales of personal experiences ... this book has a bit of everything. I guarantee you'll end up reading the full, illuminating collection, and you'll possibly finish it knowing more about your own personal stance than you imagined.

  • This collection of essays curated by writer Scarlett Curtis is a call-to-arms that allows us to unpick what it means to be a feminist in a safe space. It's not trying to be the definitive book on feminism but it will keep the conversation going L-O-U-D-L-Y.
