Summary
A funny, joyful, frank and inspiring book about embracing both feminism and our imperfections, from the creator of the hit comedy podcast, Deborah Frances-White.
In 2015 I described myself as 'guilty feminist' for the first time. My goals were noble, but my concerns were trivial. I desperately wanted to close the pay gap, but I also wanted to look good sitting down naked.
From inclusion to the secret autonomy in rom coms, from effective activism to what poker can tell us about power structures, Deborah explores what it means to be a 21st-century feminist and encourages us to make the world better for everyone.
This audiobook also includes exclusive interviews with performers, activists and thinkers - Jessamyn Stanley, Zoe Coombs Marr, Susan Wokoma, Bisha K. Ali, Reubs Walsh, Becca Bunce, Amika George, Mo Mansfied and Leyla Hussein - plus a piece from Hannah Gadsby.
Read by Deborah Frances-White, this audiobook includes live excerpts from The Guilty Feminist podcast, with interviews narrated by Adjoa Andoh and Becca Bunce.
Critic reviews
"This really is the 'everything you have always wanted to know about feminism but were afraid to ask' manual. From a mind as lucid and witty as it is kind and empathetic comes essential reading for the planet." (Emma Thompson)
Praise for The Guilty Feminist podcast: "'Hilarious, irreverent, eternally surprising, classy as hell, genius comedians... It's shows like this that breathe life into conversations about feminism." (Phoebe Waller-Bridge)
"Tackles issues from democracy to sexuality to porn with a lightness and hilarity that makes even the newly ordained feminist feel at home." (Scarlett Curtis, Sunday Times)

Great
I generally loved this although the interviews felt a bit strange to listen to - perhaps better in the paper version. Otherwise great with some excellently made points that I’ll be using for my next debate on the importance of feminism!

Every woman should read this book!
Tells it like it is, using wit and anecdote whilst still tackling the big topics head on and fearlessly. An incredibly powerful, and empowering, book.

All good except the voices
This is another great feminist book and I liked it a lot. My only annoyance was the voices Deborah puts on for the people she interviews. It’s quite hard to listen to these, and I wish she either just used her own voice or got them to speak for the audiobook. She slightly ruins their message with a bad imitation of them and it made me want to skip those sections - which is a shame!
Otherwise worth a listen (probably better to read as a book if you can to avoid the voicing!)

A feminist icon
Deborah Frances-White is the feminist icon of our times. Content not to be perfect (hence the "guilty" part), she still straps on her cape and leads the right to undermine the patriarchy and give women their power.
Her inclusive and intersectional attitude to women is also a refreshing thing to see. She deliberately includes women of colour, trans* women, disabled women, underprivileged women and even men in her feminism.
And, she makes us feel less guilty about our guilty pleasures too!
Every human being should read this book. It is a tour de force for feminism. And once you've read it, check out the podcast of the same name -you won't regret it I promise.

Absolutely brilliant
I don’t remember when I’ve been compelled to write a review before, but I want every man and woman to listen to this. It’s enlightening without being patronising and funny and very easy to listen to and the content is just so important.
