Description
From the bestselling author of The Guilty Feminist, a book for anyone who's sick of avoiding the shouting - and shouting into the void
'If you have ever felt shut down, this book is a godsend' EMMA THOMPSON'The exact book the world needs to read right now. Compassionate, rigorous, electric!'' TRAVIS ALABANZA 'A mental macchiato on every page. Stimulating, challenging, disarming, original, pithy, gritty and witty - a must read. Administer immediately' KATHY LETTEWhy have divisive conversations become so flammable Is there any value in cancelling historical figures How has the so-called 'transgender debate' become so toxic and what can we do to genuinely help Why are the most progressive people calling for censorship in comedy Is cancel culture real and, if so, can shaming and shunning really work How do we achieve progress in today's, y'know, screaming hellscape We are understandably scared to have some of these conversations. But Deborah Frances-White is even more scared of not having them. Having grown up in a cult, she knows the value of freedom of speech, critical thinking and the ability to disagree while really fighting for change. In her new book, she encourages us to ask difficult questions, really listen and know when to negotiate and when to resist. Most importantly, she explores how to change minds, including our own. And she argues that we don't need to agree on everything in order to find a way out and a way forward on some of the biggest issues in today's world. Are you ready to talk Praise for Deborah Frances-White and THE GUILTY FEMINIST:'Quite possibly the defining feminist of our generation' ELIZABETH DAY'Very funny, very clever, very thoughtful and very relevant' DOLLY ALDERTON'Breathes life into conversations about feminism' PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGEReviews
