Publisher's summary

THE NEW BOOK FROM DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE GUILTY FEMINIST

A brave and brilliantly funny new book about how we can have difficult conversations well, how we can disagree well, how we can build bridges and change minds, including our own.

Deborah Frances-White's smash hit podcast The Guilty Feminist is about being a force for change without being perfect: she's done her learning in public over the past ten years. In private, people often confide in her that they're frightened to ask questions about controversial topics. In her new book, she takes this out into the open, presenting presents six conversations that are scary to have - including problematic historical figures, gender, cancel culture and free speech.

Throughout the book, Deborah draws on her unique perspective as a inclusive feminist, a comedian and someone who grew up in a high-control group, where free thinking was forbidden. She argues that if we are to make real change in our society, we need to become skilled at asking difficult questions, reasoning, listening, compromising and even changing our own minds. This book is a breath of fresh air and inspires us to accept that we will never agree on everything, and do not need to in order to move forward.
