Publisher's Summary

Every day women are reinventing what it means to be female in cultures where power, privilege or basic freedoms are all too often equated with being male. One of the most tenacious campaigners of her generation, Caroline Criado-Perez introduces us to these pioneering women.

We meet the first woman to cross the Antarctic alone; a female fighter pilot in Afghanistan; a Chilean revolutionary turned politician; and the Iranian journalist who dared to uncover her hair.

Brilliant story telling

I found myself utterly immersed into these women's stories on my daily commute of an hour each way- just right to complete a chapter or so. For me, it was a very uplifting book as each chapter would finish with the achievement of each protagonist after a period of intense challenge and personal loss. From trekking across the Antarctic, to campaigning for rape kits to be tested to give 11k victims justice in one US law enforcement
department alone, to the fight for education and the right to not be abused- this weaves a fascinating, inspiring tapestry of women as fighters and leaders the world over.

Could be triggering for HSP

The book is an amazing work, no doubt about it. But the stories are highly likely to be triggering for Highly Sensitive Persons.

A voice for women, not for narration

The information was good but the narration was so bad I could only listen to it for short spells at a time.

Harrowing but inspiring

This book made me feel good and hopeful about being female, but also devastated by what some women have to go through just because they are women.

Interesting

Full of information, open my eyes to what women having to go through. Interesting and an awareness to what women experiences in life is daunting. It demonstrates that women are strong.

Empowering

I didn’t like anything about this book: not the stories; not the way it was read; not even some of the moral and ethical positions that are adopted. But it describes the political and social reality for more than half of the world’s human population.

If we want social justice and if we want to change the story for women around the world, we need to face up to some harsh and unpalatable truths. And we need to act upon them.

Thank you Caroline Criado-Perez for doing it like a strong and courageous woman. When there’s a balance of power, women won’t need to be so militant and the truth will no longer be so confronting.

What a fantastic book

I want to listen to this book over & over to burn the names of these incredible women into my brain. How did women become to be so reviled by society when such brilliant, strong, brave women exist? This book is truly wonderful to listen to - Caroline is a fantastic, clear narrator and her passion for her subject matter is obvious and intense. I loved this book so much.
