Not Here To Be Liked

Product Information

Justifiably angry that he - male, handsome, popular and utterly inexperienced - was picked over her - Eliza’s venting inspires a feminist movement that exposes the gulf between those who want - and recognise the need for - gender equality, and those who think she’s just annoyed about being overlooked.

And we also see Winona come to terms with the flawed ideals as well, with her filmmaking talent is frustrated with the male-dominated industry yet despite that is defeated that it still means something to be acknowledged by the ones in power. While following the simple plot of a coming-of-age romance story, Not Here To Be Liked dives into the complicated aspects of feminism; Eliza deals with self-doubt, heartbreak, and family expectations throughout the novel. What follows is the start of a feminist movement in her school, questioning the sexist behaviour prevalent. This sparks a feminist movement within the school, with Eliza at the forefront, questioning the prevalence of sexist behaviour. And I'm saying this because I know a lot of guys that think that feminism is just for women when it's literally about equality for EVERYONE.We usually get dead parents trope (no offence meant here) to show a dysfunctional family in YA but a complete family also has it’s fair share of arguments and fights. I think this will help some teens understand feminism a little better and provoke them into discovering more about themselves and what their own views are. I SHARE A BEDROOM WITH MY OLDER SISTER KIM, which wouldn’t be a problem except she has this habit of making a face whenever I walk in. In this fast paced and beautifully written novel, Michelle Quach brings important discussions of feminism to the forefront, highlighting the struggles of being a woman and how unfairly many are treated because of their gender. Seventeen-year-old Charlie Davis, a white girl living on the margins, thinks she has little reason to live: her father drowned himself; her bereft and abusive mother kicked her out; her best friend, Ellis, is nearly brain dead after cutting too deeply; and she's gone through unspeakable experiences living on the street.

For the first time in her life, the prickly and somewhat pretentious Eliza is unprepared for what lies ahead.Frustrated and outraged at the outcome of events, Eliza accidentally becomes the face of Willoughby's feminist movement.
