' Women are told from birth that it's our job to be small physically small small in our presence & small in our impact on the world We're supposed to spend our lives passive quiet & hungry I want to obliterate that expectation' Guardian columnist Lindy West wasn't always loud It's difficult to believe she was once a nerdy overweight teen who wanted nothing more than to be invisible Fortunately for women everywhere along the road she found her voice
- & how she found it! That cripplingly shy girl who refused to make a sound somehow grew up to be one of the loudest shrillest most fearless feminazis on the internet making a living standing up for what's right instead of what's cool In Shrill Lindy recounts how she went from being the butt of people's jokes to telling her own brand of jokes
- ones that carry with them with a serious message & aren't at someone else's expense She reveals the obstacles & stereotyping she's had to overcome to make herself heard in a society that doesn't think women (especially fat women & feminists) are or can be funny She also tackles some of the most burning issues of popular culture today taking a frank & provocative look at racism oppression fat-shaming twitter-trolling & even rape culture unpicking the bullshit & calling out unpalatable truths with conviction intelligence & a large dose of her trademark black humour' Lindy West is an essential (and hilarious) voice for women Her talent & bravery have made the Internet a place I actually want to be' Lena Dunham
