Description

Dr Jessica Taylor - feminist campaigner, lecturer, chartered psychologist and author of Sunday Times bestseller Sexy but Psycho - discusses her powerful story so far in this deeply moving and searingly honest memoir.

From her upbringing on a council estate in Stoke-on-Trent and the abusive environments she was forced to reckon with as a teen and beyond, to how she became one of the UK's most spirited advocates for women's rights and psychologist specialising in victim blaming and helping women subject to violence, Taylor's story is one of strength. In Under . . . Class, pulling anecdotes from her life, Taylor examines both the classist and misogynistic undertones present in society to this day, and dissects the various ways in which these established double standards continue to oppress women and girls.
