The Feminist Handbook

The Feminist Handbook

With this revolutionary feminist self-help guide, readers will find powerful tools they can use every day to combat the effects discrimination and gender inequality, improve self-confidence, build resilience, and actively resist the gendered messages they've internalized from living in an openly sexist, patriarchal society.



It's time to fight back! With this inter-sectional handbook, you'll discover practical, everyday tips and tools to help you resist sexism, smash the patriarchy, and create a better world for yourself and future generations.

From reproductive rights and the wage gap to #MeToo and #TimesUp-gender inequality permeates nearly every aspect of our culture. From birth and on through adulthood, the message that our sexist society sends to women and girls is clear: you're not enough. You're not valued enough to get paid the same salary as a man with the same job title. You're not worthy enough or perfect enough to be taken seriously or respected. You're not responsible enough to make decisions about your body or reproductive rights.

These negative messages are internalised on a deep psychological level. In fact, the effects of sexism are directly represented in the high rates of anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and eating disorders among women and girls-and these effects are even more severe for queer women, disabled women, and women of colour. Isn't it time you said ENOUGH?

This revolutionary feminist self-help guide offers real tools you can use to:

·Combat the effects of discrimination and gender/race inequality
·Improve your self-confidence, gain self-esteem, and build resilience
·Actively resist internalised negative messages you've received while living in an openly sexist, patriarchal culture

Most self-help books teach you how to transform your life from the inside out. But what can you do when your distress is caused by sexist institutionalised power structures, attitudes, and events that are outside of your control? This book will help you untangle the role that sexism and discrimination plays in your life, your mental health, and your overall sense of well-being. Most importantly, you'll learn to reject negative messages and work toward creating lasting change through activism and community.

There's a lot of work to do. This book will help you get started now.
