Summary
With special guest appearances from comedian Rosie Jones, actor and poet Jade Anouka and journalist and author Alya Mooro, comedy performer and writer Anneka Harry has gathered up all the tired tropes for women so you don't have to! From the English rose to the creepy little girl, the tomboy to the manic pixie dream girl, Anneka calls them out and, most importantly, reclaims them.
For too long women have been pigeonholed into a handful of tired and basic characters, their personality and behaviour criticised if they don’t fit the role society thinks they should be playing. Anneka Harry analyses 20 of the most antiquated, cookie-cutter clichés and tokens that 21st-century women are so over.
Through hilarious tongue-in-cheek-fuelled study, Anneka examines each trope, sprinkling them with sarcasm, seasoning them with feminism, infusing them with activism, before serving them up ready for the modern masses to enjoy. It’s time to shove a stick of dynamite up the arse of the out-of-date - and Lady Sidekick is ready to light the wick.
