Publisher Description
'With wit, insight and glorious, righteous rage, Clementine Ford lays out all the ways in which girls and women are hurt and held back, and unapologetically demands that the world do better. A passionate and urgently needed call to arms, Fight Like A Girl insists on our right to be angry, to be heard and to fight. It'll change lives.' Emily Maguire, author of An Isolated Incident
A friend recently told me that the things I write are powerful for her because they have the effect of making her feel angry instead of just empty. I want to do this for all women and young girls - to take the emptiness and numbness they feel about being a girl in this world and turn it into rage and power. I want to teach all of them how to FIGHT LIKE A GIRL. Clementine Ford
Online sensation, fearless feminist heroine and scourge of trolls and misogynists everywhere, Clementine Ford is a beacon of hope and inspiration to thousands of Australian women and girls. Her incendiary debut Fight Like A Girl is an essential manifesto for feminists new, old and soon-to-be, and exposes just how unequal the world continues to be for women. Crucially, it is a call to arms for all women to rediscover the fury that has been suppressed by a society that still considers feminism a threat.
Fight Like A Girl will make you laugh, cry and scream. But above all it will make you demand and fight for a world in which women have real equality and not merely the illusion of it.
Customer Reviews
Tremendous
I am terribly, terribly glad this book has been written. And it's been written so well. Well argued, deeply satisfying but also hilarious in places as well as lyrical and wonderful. I especially enjoyed the bit about the word 'fork'.
Funny and life changing
This will be one of the most important books you’ll ever read. Accessible and funny, a must read!
Racist Feminist!
Clementine Ford is using her unpopularity to voice her racist views by countlessly using the ‘N Word’. I’m appalled and wondering how this made it passed the editors!
