Summary

The Beauty Myth for the Instagram generation.

Women Don't Owe You Pretty is the ultimate book for anyone who wants to challenge the out-dated narratives supplied to us by the patriarchy.

Through Florence's story, you will learn how to protect your energy, discover that you are the love of your own life and realise that today is a wonderful day to dump them.

Florence Given is here to remind you that you owe men nothing, least of all pretty.

Warning: contains explicit content (and a load of uncomfortable truths).

The feminist book everyone is talking about.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A must read for all genders

I purchased this book when it was on pre-order . I arrived and I read it so quickly ! I purchased three more books for friends that where going through break ups. I then decided to purchase the audiobook so I could take in all of the information again. It's changed my life , and I know I will be re-reading the book and listening to the audiobook again and again .
Florence narrates the book beautifully and makes you feel like she's talking directly to you . If you purchase the audiobook and enjoy it , I really recommend purchasing the hard copy so you can enjoy all the beautiful artwork in it.
This book isn't just about feminism - it covers racism , ableism, LBGTQ+ , privilege , the importance of setting boundaries...I could go on forever!
This is a much needed book for anyone who wants to grow and start taking care of their goddamn selves !
I hope you find this review helpful x

I read this because my 15 year old daughter is about to read it and I wanted to gage some perspective.

I think this is an excellent book for empowering the league of young girls entering into this time in life it talks about the importance of loving yourself. and I would have loved this insight when I was 20.

At times I think it can be a little too single-minded but that is the prerogative of the writer and I accept it, it's just my view. this book can sometimes come across as quite angry and not fully representative, a lot of women are mothers, I am a mother of daughters and I felt a bit left out. but I also recognise that this isn't a book about motherhood...but it is a book about sisterhood I guess.

I did find that on a few occasions the writer contradicts herself but I guess that's ok just detail I noticed.

I look forward to hearing Florence's version of this book when she's 30 plus.

I do think everyone should read this, it is an eye opener and a reminder. I'm happy that my daughter is reading this!

I wish I read this book years ago!

A brutally honest and critical discussion of the current state of being a human in a man’s world.
At first I rolled my eyes a bit and thought “here we go again, the angry feminist” until I understood where this comment in my head came from!
I listened to the book again after the first time- and blimey- that hit hard!

It’s uncomfortable but so necessary to read/ listen to/ discuss- thank you Florence Given for this book, I really needed to hear all of it.

Life changing

Every one should read it, and follow her on social media. Especially if you’ve been in an abusive relationship, been mistreated or sexually assaulted.

I admire what she is trying to do but not a great book unfortunately.

I like Florence and think she does have some good points, but she waffles a lot and seems to repeat the same ideas.

Stopped reading 3/4 of the way through as I was a bit fed up with it.
