Ilustration Supposing Books Girl Up

They told you you need to be thin and beautiful. They told you to wear longer skirts, avoid going out late at night and move in groups - never accept drinks from a stranger, and wear shoes you can run in more easily than heels. They told you to wear just enough make-up to look presentable but not enough to be a slut; to dress to flatter your apple, pear, hourglass figure, but not to be too tarty. They warned you that if you try to be strong, or take control, you'll be shrill, bossy, a ballbreaker. Of course it's fine for the boys, but you should know your place. They told you 'that's not for girls' - 'take it as a compliment' - 'don't rock the boat' - 'that'll go straight to your hips'. They told you 'beauty is on the inside', but you knew they didn't really mean it. Well screw that. I'm here to tell you something else. Hilarious, jaunty and bold, GIRL UP exposes the truth about the pressures surrounding body image, the false representations in media, the complexities of a sex and relationships, the trials of social media and all the other lies they told us. 'Bates takes a myth-busting approach to body image, food, sex and advertising, and is particularly good at boiling down feminist language into a snappy, everyday vernacular without diluting its power.' Metro 'Essential reading for young women and girls, Girl Up is set to become a key guiding text for the next generation like The Beauty Myth and The Feminine Mystique have for preceding generations. Morning Star Online It's hardly headline news that feminism can be funny. But, heavens, is it refreshing to see it done as well as it is [in this book]. Telegraph 'Girl Up is something between a self-help book and a bracing love letter to today's teenage girls...I wish I'd had Girl Up when I was growing up. I could have used such no-nonsense survival g

Notice Based On Books Girl Up

WHY DID THIS HAVE TO END?!It has been a long time since I've felt this incensed and motivated. I've read a lot of feminist books in the last couple of years, but this is the most inspiring and definitely the most in-depth, tackling more topics than you'd imagine possible in 300 pages and delving deeply into each one.If you're a feminist, read this book and feel justified.If you're not a feminist, read this book, girl up and stop being an arsehole.

If you've been following me on social medias you'd know how much I love Laura Bates & her Everyday Sexism project & how that book pretty much changed my life. For someone that has read about feminism for years, it felt a bit redundant at times - but mainly because concepts like "no means no" are obvious things to me now. If you want to start reading about feminism, sexism, body image & sex in a positive way this is the right book for you.

I believe this book should be handed out to every teenager and young women.Bates covers everything from career to sexism to sex Very recommended

Will be posting a review tomorrow on my IG @inthebookcorner

Controversy reigned within the school library as soon as Girl Up arrived in the post. Banned for review by all years groups except Year 13 who duly refused to have anything to do with it. As you can appreciate Girl Up was instantly deemed unsuitable for distribution within the school library due to the satirical and outrageous delivery of the subject matter, pictures of dancing lady parts would not be accepted by the majority parents. However, as a parent of teenage girls myself, I can certainly
