THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
‘Extremely powerful’ FINANCIAL TIMES
‘Game-changing’ COSMOPOLITAN
‘Admirable’ INDEPENDENT
After a series of escalating sexist incidents, Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism Project, inviting women to write in with their experiences.
The response was astounding. Stories poured in from all around the world and the project quickly became one of the biggest social media success stories of the internet. The stories ranges from being harassed and wolf-whistled at on the street, to discrimination in the workplace and serious sexual assault, revealing just how normalised sexism had become.
Often shocking, sometimes amusing and always poignant, Everyday Sexism is a protest against inequality and a manifesto for change.
Welcome to the fourth wave of feminism.
