Welcome to Litsy!

Undecided. I see what she wanted to tell, and it's really worthwhile. I felt she rallied against everything and thus seems overly angry.
I didn't find it as funny (see cover review) as Caitlin Moran, or as wise as Lena Dunham.
But interesting facts about women in parliament, about the terrifying anti woman statistics and imbalances.
I'm recommending it to my 21 year old daughter.

Starting the new year as ever with a selection of essays or letters.
This was a gift from a good friend with whom I share many political opinions. He's going to read it after me...

I‘m overjoyed to have got tickets for Jess Phillips‘ talk in Birmingham as part of the Literature Festival. She was absolutely brilliant in conversation with Caitlin Moran back in July. I really like her attitude towards underprivileged people and how she truly stands up for what she believes in. She is truly inspirational.

Seven covers in seven days with no explanation and tag someone new every day. What a cool idea!

Tagging every man and everywoman (see what I did there) who wishes to take part. I‘ve really enjoyed doing this challenge, putting together collages and struggling to say nothing about the covers I‘ve chosen, so I‘m sure you will too!

This is an excellent read so far! I saw Jess Philips a couple of weeks ago on stage with Caitlin Moran and both were absolutely hilarious. I wish I‘d known of her sooner!

My friend got me Jess Phillips' book for Christmas and she even managed to get her to sign it! I nearly cried #politics #feminism #women #british #christmas

This is intense but amazing, another one of those must-read commentaries on our culture which opens up a whole new (or expanded) way of seeing things. Jess Phillips, an MP who has been through most of the crap, discusses trolling, motherhood, women in parliament, and so much more. Definitely one to pass on and recommend to others.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An AMAZING book. Uplifting, easy to read, witty, and poignant. What a woman! I can't recommend this enough! I only wish I was able to vote for her. A must-read for those of us women who have been trolled and silenced.
