About the Book
What does the F-word mean to you? The must-read book for 2018.
Follow @feminists on Instagram for updates.
A collection of writing from extraordinary women, from Hollywood actresses
to teenage activists, each telling the story of their personal relationship with
feminism, this book explores what it means to be a woman from every point
of view.
Often funny, sometimes surprising, and always inspiring, this book aims to
bridge the gap between the feminist hashtag and the scholarly text by giving
women the space to explain how they actually feel about feminism.
Published in partnership with Girl Up, the UN’s women’s foundation,
royalties will benefit the charity.
