Fight Like a Girl

De: Clementine Ford

Narrado por: Clementine Ford

This new edition includes an extra chapter on the #MeToo Movement and how women are standing up and speaking out and reclaiming control over the stories told about their lives.

'A friend recently told me that the things I write are powerful for her because they have the effect of making her feel angry instead of just empty. I want to do this for all women and young girls - to take the emptiness and numbness they feel about being a girl in this world and turn it into rage and power. I want to teach all of them how to Fight Like A Girl.' (Clementine Ford)

Online sensation, fearless feminist heroine and scourge of trolls and misogynists everywhere, Clementine Ford is a beacon of hope and inspiration to thousands of Australian women and girls. Her incendiary debut Fight Like A Girl is an essential manifesto for feminists new, old and soon-to-be, and exposes just how unequal the world continues to be for women. Crucially, it is a call to arms for all women to rediscover the fury that has been suppressed by a society that still considers feminism a threat.

Fight Like A Girl will make you laugh, cry and scream. But above all it will make you demand and fight for a world in which women have real equality and not merely the illusion of it.

Should be basic knowledge

The concepts in this book should be well understood by all humans, should have been dismantled ages ago, should never have existed in the first place. But sadly, we’ve all been steeped in the toxic idea that women exist to serve men, should be controlled by men, and do not deserve the same level of respect as men, or any respect whatsoever in the minds of many - including the majority of women. Women are taught from the cradle that it is their duty to please men in every way (from behavior to appearance), to diminish themselves/their accomplishments, so as to never challenge the supposed superiority of men. Women are expected to be grateful for the attention & approval of men, to seek it above all else, to compete with other women for it (divide and conquer). The patriarchy would like women’s attention to be completely claimed by this horseshite, to remain distracted and discouraged from banding together, supporting each other, reaching our fullest potential, and creating amazing things in the world. Take a very long, deep look at whether you are perpetuating this - in your own life, and/or the lives of others.

It has given me courage and confidence

This book has instilled in me the courage and confidence that I need it as a woman and a victim of sexual abuse and it empowers me to be more self-assured.

officially inspired!!

The story was very relatable as it went through the different stages of becoming a feminist. She also makes a lot of good points and this is definitely a book that ill recommend to friends!

Thank you Clementine Ford!

I really needed this book, and it was so great! I'm going through rough time, and this book validated me in so many ways.

Confronting and thought provoking

A bold and empowering explanation of current day feminism shining light on the systemic violence being endured by women due to the patriarchy societal structure.
