About this listen

 THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Breathes life into conversations about feminism' PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE

'Very funny, very clever, very thoughtful and very relevant' DOLLY ALDERTON

Why do we find it so hard to say 'No'?
How can feminism be more inclusive?
What can rom-coms tell us about taking charge?

The Guilty Feminist will challenge you, reassure you and empower you to see the world differently.

From inclusion to intersectionality, #MeToo to men's rights, rom-coms to pornography, Deborah Frances-White tackles urgent questions for the modern woman. Featuring interviews with activists, businesswomen and all-round inspirations, The Guilty Feminist examines how women can abandon their guilt, say No (when they mean it), say Yes (when they want to), and to change the world - and ourselves - for the better.

Includes interviews with Jessamyn Stanley * Zoe Coombs Marr * Susan Wokoma * Phoebe Waller-Bridge * Hannah Gadsby * Reubs Walsh * Bisha K. Ali * Becca Bunce * Mo Mansfield * Leyla Hussein * Amika George

Critic reviews

This really is the "everything you have always wanted to know about feminism but were afraid to ask" manual. From a mind as lucid and witty as it is kind and empathetic comes essential reading for the planet (Emma Thompson)

I generally loved this although the interviews felt a bit strange to listen to - perhaps better in the paper version. Otherwise great with some excellently made points that I’ll be using for my next debate on the importance of feminism!

Great

Hilarious and important

Tells it like it is, using wit and anecdote whilst still tackling the big topics head on and fearlessly. An incredibly powerful, and empowering, book.

Every woman should read this book!

This is another great feminist book and I liked it a lot. My only annoyance was the voices Deborah puts on for the people she interviews. It’s quite hard to listen to these, and I wish she either just used her own voice or got them to speak for the audiobook. She slightly ruins their message with a bad imitation of them and it made me want to skip those sections - which is a shame!

Otherwise worth a listen (probably better to read as a book if you can to avoid the voicing!)

All good except the voices

Deborah Frances-White is the feminist icon of our times. Content not to be perfect (hence the "guilty" part), she still straps on her cape and leads the right to undermine the patriarchy and give women their power.

Her inclusive and intersectional attitude to women is also a refreshing thing to see. She deliberately includes women of colour, trans* women, disabled women, underprivileged women and even men in her feminism.

And, she makes us feel less guilty about our guilty pleasures too!

Every human being should read this book. It is a tour de force for feminism. And once you've read it, check out the podcast of the same name -you won't regret it I promise.

A feminist icon

I don’t remember when I’ve been compelled to write a review before, but I want every man and woman to listen to this. It’s enlightening without being patronising and funny and very easy to listen to and the content is just so important.

Absolutely brilliant

Oh Deborah F-W I do love you
