About this listen

'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.

Editorial reviews

Wherever you are in your feminist journey, there’s plenty to learn and be inspired by in the empowering Women Don’t Owe You Pretty. Fearless, smart and insightful, this listen is a must for women looking to protect themselves, affirm their self worth and challenge expectations.

In Women Don’t Owe You Pretty, the feminist conversation is unlocked by Florence Given and she invites you right in to join her. Recording in her own living room, Given shares recollections and advice in a conversational style that's reminiscent of a memorable chat over a cup of coffee with a close friend. She reflects on the impact that the patriarchy has on the everyday world around us and supports and empowers you to see and act on this too — from deciding whether or not to dump him to avoiding the vicious pattern of fixating on other women’s flaws.

An accessible guide to feminism for the Instagram generation, Women Don’t Owe You Pretty unknots the age-old and often overly complex conversations about the male gaze and living to fulfil other people’s expectations. Instead, this audiobook refreshes the conversation with a contemporary and inclusive touch. And it’s not simply an intellectual exercise either: each anecdote will arm you with real-world knowledge and guide you along the first steps towards the radical act of loving yourself. It’s as eye-opening as it is game-changing.

This book was brilliant in so many ways. Firstly I looove listening to Florence- the accent is awesome. There were so many lightbulb moments for me with this book and such great validation for past and recent hurt. I did feel a little triggered during one of the chapters and had a cry but I needed to hear what Florence said and it has helped me heal more. Thanks Floss!

I wish I'd been able to read this book when I was growing up. I consider myself to be a pretty well educated feminist but this book was challenging in the best way. Florence Given's narration was vulnerable and sincere and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Everyone should read this

Like dnm with a wise big sister, this book articulates what your heart has probably been trying to tell you all along. I wish I could send it back in time to my teenage self.

Thank you Florence ❤️

This book is honestly life changing. Every single person in the entire world should read or listen to it. Florence has changed my life. Thank you for putting all of my feelings, my anger, my trauma, my core beliefs into the most beautiful and articulate words. It was challenging, heart breaking, informative, uncomfortable and overwhelming. But you know what? It was 100% worth it to come out the other end knowing that I am worthy, I am a woman, and I don’t owe anyone pretty. Eternally grateful, so much love x

The best thing you will ever read
