In 2015 I described myself as 'guilty feminist' for the first time. My goals were noble but my concerns were trivial. I desperately wanted to close the pay gap, but I also wanted to look good sitting down naked.

A funny, joyful, frank and inspiring book about embracing both feminism and our imperfections, from the creator of the hit comedy podcast, Deborah Frances-White.

From inclusion to the secret autonomy in rom coms, from effective activism to what poker can tell us about power structures, Deborah explores what it means to be a twenty-first-century feminist, and encourages us to make the world better for everyone.

The book also includes exclusive interviews with performers, activists and thinkers - Jessamyn Stanley, Zoe Coombs Marr, Susan Wokoma, Bisha K. Ali, Reubs Walsh, Becca Bunce, Amika George, Mo Mansfied and Leyla Hussein - plus a piece from Hannah Gadsby.

"This really is the 'everything you have always wanted to know about feminism but were afraid to ask' manual. Essential reading for the planet."
Emma Thompson

"Brims with facts and inspiring women you might not have heard of but are now glad you have...[Deborah Frances-White's] mixture of wit, fallibility and inclusivity is immensely appealing...The book emboldens women to find their voice, to say no more often, yes less, and to demand more than the 75p in the pound they get paid compared with men. Her genius for satire is what makes her voice so sonorous - her Open Letter from the Gentlemen of Hollywood, a riposte to the Weinstein saga, is worth the cover price alone."
Sunday Times

"Slicing through the fun and foibles of twenty-first-century womanhood with deft and funny prose, the book covers everything 'from our noble goals to our worst hypocrisies'. Existing fans of her podcast and newcomers alike will love this irreverent guide to a very modern tug of war"
Red

"The Guilty Feminist is accessible and honest, written with warmth. And the openness with which she and other contributors discuss their struggles make the book feel like a discussion with friends over a glass of wine...it is full of inspiring and challenging ideas, encouraging every woman to say: "I get to be heard. I deserve to be seen"
Daily Express
