Book Description
A witty take on feminism for every woman who wants equality but sometimes wants a day off from fighting for it Sometimes we feel a bit like "I'm a feminist, but..." As in, "I'm a feminist, but I skipped the Women's March to buy face cream." As in, "I'm a feminist, but I've never found time to read Sylvia Plath (but I have watched fifteen seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians)." In The Guilty Feminist, Deborah Frances-White reassures us that we don't have to be perfect to be a force for meaningful change. Exploring big issues of identity, equality, intersectionality, and the current feminist agenda, she explodes the myth of the model activist and offers a realistic path toward changing the world.

Book Description
A brave, witty and surprising intervention in the culture wars by the bestselling author of The Guilty Feminist Does history have a right side? Is cancel culture real? What's the line between comedy and offense? And why are we so obsessed with gender? We are understandably scared to have some of these conversations. But Deborah Frances-White, bestselling author of The Guilty Feminist, is even more scared of not having them. Having grown up in a cult, she knows the value of freedom of speech, free thinking and the ability to disagree. In her new book, she encourages us to ask difficult questions, listen, think, compromise and change minds, including our own. And she argues that we don't need to agree on everything in order to find a way out and a way forward on some of the biggest questions in today's world. Are you ready to talk?

Smart, Stupid and Sixty

Author: Nigel Marsh
Publisher: Random House Australia
ISBN: 0143794361
Category : Aging
Languages : en
Pages : 322

Book Description
Twenty years ago, Nigel Marsh was an overweight mortgage slave struggling to balance a career, marriage and four children under eight. Until he lost his job. In Fat, Forty and Fired, Nigel wrote about falling off the corporate hamster wheel and surviving. Now that he's approaching sixty, he can't help but notice it's been a while since he stepped onto that wheel with other hamsters. One day he reads that a graduate trainee who used to work for him in London is now a global CEO with an office on the top floor of a skyscraper in New York. Nigel, by contrast, is wearing a dressing-gown and sitting at his writing desk in a dank storage room under his garage in Sydney. It's enough to give anyone a moment of self-doubt - even a man whose ground-breaking TED Talk on work/life balance has been downloaded a whopping five million times. Could it be that Nigel's most successful days are behind him? Or is conventional success simply that - conventional success? And is it possible that his happiest days lie ahead? In his memoir for his sixth decade on earth, Nigel ponders ageing well, sex, parenting adult children, his parents' passing, and the secret to his living a happy life. By turns humorous, thought-provoking, poignant and life-affirming, Smart, Stupid and Sixty is a celebration of the third trimester as a privilege to be enjoyed rather than a sentence to be endured.
