Story
From bogan to boned and beyond - a full-frontal 'femoir' by one of Australia's best-loved journalists. 'Will you ever work in television again?' the journalist asks, thrusting a microphone towards me. 'I hope so,' I say before scuttling into a cafe. It's feeding time, and I need to express. But questions niggle, like chafed nipples. Can women stand up for their rights without retribution? Should you cry over spilled milk? And what happens when a good girl goes bad?

Striping back the folly & injustice of misogny
Reviewed: 17-02-2019
Tracey delivers an engaging, funny & eye opening look at her personal experience challenging the 'dinosaurs' of mainstream news media. Sadly the indignities she faced turn out to be almost universal & so the almighty battle begins for real change to create cultures that value women for more than their perceived sexual availability to certain type of men. Go Tracey!

A book for right now!

An important account of one man's journey & attempt to break out of manbox. An insight & positive reminder that boys/men have rich emotional lives that can be stifled in many ways, which does no-one any good.

Story
The Indignities of Being a Woman candidly traces the history of womanhood and investigates how much things have really changed for womankind. By carefully x-raying areas such as body image, marriage, mental illness, fashion, and politics, this audiobook examines what it was like to be a woman in the past versus what it’s like now, when women are constantly told equality between the sexes exists but reality proves otherwise.

Story
'Women are told, from birth, that it's our job to be small: physically small, small in our presence, and small in our impact on the world. We're supposed to spend our lives passive, quiet and 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 - and how she found it!

Lindy West's experiences, observations and insights are brilliantly delivered in her own voice, exposing my brain to new ways of looking at issues that I already spend a lot of time thinking on. That is a significant and meaningful gift. Thank you Lindy West.

Fascinating Australian political intrigue
Reviewed: 11-10-2018
A timely reminder that the freedoms we hold dear in Australia have been hard won, protected, and could so easily disappear. A great tale of political intrigue that in some ways we can only hope are not true. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
