About this deal

Nadie quiere leer de cifras de vi0lencia, misoginia y abus0s, pero yo sentí esa necesidad de aprender más. Ze verontschuldigde zich tegenover de jongere generatie, dat ondanks dat het zo leek het toen ook al niet oké was. It’s a powerful opener that sticks with you throughout; I will be making my own list and expect to lighten the weight of it with a glass of wine in the company of my incredible female friends. Lo he sentido como un combustible en el alma porque según iba leyendo me iba enfadando, y/o activando (Como prefieras interpretarlo) He sentido frustración, enfado, ira, pena y empoderamiento con cada página que pasaba. The fact that only a quarter of the Cabinet are women might just explain why working mothers lost their jobs at far higher rates than fathers during the Covid-19 pandemic, and new mothers were forced to give birth alone while pubs were allowed to open.

She encourages all women to make one, charting a life in sexism, from the playground to the street to the workplace.But it is nobody else’s to take it away from you, to deny, dismiss, belittle or obliterate with well-meaning platitudes or sexist, outdated excuses. Thank you Laura Bates for writing such an important book and for advocating for those of us who had not yet been able to, or might never, find the right words. It's absolutely disgusting to not only NOT believe, but mock and contradict the people who are indeed affected on a systemic level and think you know better than them what they should be focusing on. If you are looking for solutions, or a magic bullet, it’s not really going to satiate that need… but at the same time you know what you should do (stand up for yourself and other women - keep pushing for improvements - and encourage people to seek help and come forward).

She is also contributor at Women Under Siege, a New-York based organisation working to combat the use of sexual violence as a tool of war in conflict zones worldwide. Never before have I felt her formidable and brilliant voice more than in this book — and my god has she delivered some sardonic sentences in her previous offerings! We move through the different “dots” of society that shape the systemic failings that keep women oppressed, assaulted, raped and murdered.WITH A BRAND-NEW CHAPTER 'An astute and persuasive page-turner' OBSERVER'Powerful’ SUNDAY TIMES'I challenge any man to read this and still deny there's a problem'  NEW STATESMAN Too often, we blame women. This book examines how everyday accounts of sexism have become so ingrained into daily life that not only do we not even notice them half the time, but they've infiltrated and infected every structure of society. Whichever way anyone looks at this, this is yet another misogynistic method of exerting control over women's lives.
