Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Lindy West (English) Paperback Book

Description: Shrill by Lindy West Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A laugh-out-loud feminist memoir from one of the boldest new voices on the web. Publisher Description Women are told, from birth, that its our job to be small: physically small, small in our presence, and small in our impact on the world. Were supposed to spend our lives passive, quiet and hungry. I want to obliterate that expectation...Guardian columnist Lindy West wasnt always loud. Its difficult to believe she was once a nerdy, overweight teen who wanted nothing more than to be invisible. Fortunately for women everywhere, along the road she found her voice - and how she found it! That cripplingly shy girl who refused to make a sound, somehow grew up to be one of the loudest, shrillest, most fearless feminazis on the internet, making a living standing up for whats right instead of whats cool.In SHRILL, Lindy recounts how she went from being the butt of peoples jokes, to telling her own brand of jokes - ones that carry with them with a serious message and arent at someone elses expense. She reveals the obstacles and stereotyping shes had to overcome to make herself heard, in a society that doesnt think women (especially fat women and feminists) are or can be funny. She also tackles some of the most burning issues of popular culture today, taking a frank and provocative look at racism, oppression, fat-shaming, twitter-trolling and even rape culture, unpicking the bullshit and calling out unpalatable truths with conviction, intelligence and a large dose of her trademark black humour.Lindy West is an essential (and hilarious) voice for women. Her talent and bravery have made the Internet a place I actually want to be.
