Well-behaved women don’t make history: difficult women do.

Helen Lewis argues that feminism’s success is down to complicated, contradictory, imperfect women who fought each other as well as fighting for equal rights. Too many of these pioneers have been whitewashed or forgotten in our modern search for feel-good, inspirational heroines. It’s time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women.

In this audiobook, you’ll meet the working-class suffragettes who advocated bombings and arson; the princess who discovered why so many women were having bad sex; the pioneer of the refuge movement who became a men’s rights activist; the ‘striker in a sari’ who terrified Margaret Thatcher; the wronged Victorian wife who definitely wasn’t sleeping with the prime minister; and the lesbian politician who outraged the country. Taking the story up to the present with the 21st-century campaign for abortion services, Helen Lewis reveals the unvarnished - and unfinished - history of women’s rights.

Drawing on archival research and interviews, Difficult Women is a funny, fearless and sometimes shocking narrative history which shows why the feminist movement has succeeded - and what it should do next. The battle is difficult, and we must be difficult, too.

Loved this audio book! There was a clearly a deek level research into every argument and different angles were taken into consideration.
I felt like I learnt a lot on each 'fight' as it has progressed throughout history.

I have already recommend others have a read/listen so as to understand the struggle that has been had for our freedoms today.

Fantastic!

Amazing book, thought provoking, accessible yet intellectual. Would highly recommend! Very good use of my time, though roughly enjoyable. So nice to have the author read their own book for the audiobook.

Absolutely brilliant book

I highly recommend this book to everyone and I'm particular all women regardless of their age. It's very engagingly written and read by the author Helen Lewis. Very candid and open about all the achievements as well as the flaws of all these pioneers in the history of feminism to date. I found it by chance and it exceeded all expectations. so I've already given the book to several friends. Buy it, read it or listen to it! You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic book engagingly read by the author!
