Story
In Given's debut novel, we follow Eartha on a wild, weird and seductive modern-day exploration as she commences life as an openly bisexual woman whilst also becoming a viral sensation on Wonder Land, a social media app where people project their dream selves online. But as her online self and her offline self become more and more distanced, trauma from her past comes back to haunt and destroy her present. Eartha must make a choice: which version of herself should she kill off?

I Don't presents an inarguable case against marriage for modern women. With the incisive attention to detail and razor sharp wit that has characterised her work, Ford examines a broad range of topics, including the patriarchal history of marriage; the insidious and centuries long marketing campaign pop culture has conducted in marriage's favour; the illusion of feminist 'choice' in regard to taking men's names; the physical and social cost that comes with motherhood; and what a different kind of world could look like for women who were allowed to truly be free.

There's this weird gap in life that's fuelled by cheap tacos and even cheaper tequila - also known as our 20s. It's a specific limbo of being suspended between being a teenager and a 'Proper Adult' and though it's wildly confusing, often lonely, sometimes embarrassing and frequently daunting, there's also a whole lot of magic to be found in the chaos. It's a time when we're finding our own voices, cementing our relationships and starting to fulfil our big ambitions (or simply just working out what they are).

How does a feminist raise a son in a world that conditions boys into entitlement, privilege and power at the expense not just of girls' humanity but also their own? All boys start innocent, but by the time they are adolescents many of them will subscribe to a view of masculinity that is openly contemptuous of women and girls. This explosive new work will look at toxic masculinity and the closed ranks of brotherhood that shape an entitled, disrespectful and potentially dangerous idea of manhood.

So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

The panic years can hit at any time but they are most commonly triggered somewhere between the ages of twenty-five and forty. During this time, every decision a woman makes - from postcode to partner, friends to family, work to weekends - will be impacted by the urgency of the one decision with a deadline, the one decision that is impossible to take back: whether or not to have a baby. But how to stay sane in such a maddening time? How to understand who you are and what you might want from life? How to know if you're making the right decisions?

Thoughts and moods are chemical reactions in your brain that you might think you are powerless to control. But modern science has shown beyond doubt that changing your behaviour and thought patterns can rewire the neurological pathways of your brain to literally change how you think, feel and view yourself. In The Neuroscience of Self-Love, Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa takes the theory out of neuroscience and gives you practical tools and exercises to create a new self that is happier, more balanced and less dependent on others for validation.

This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.

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.
Publisher's Summary
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.
Warning: contains explicit content (and a load of uncomfortable truths).
The feminist book everyone is talking about.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I Couldn't return this to audible fast enough
I bought this book without researching who the author was & that she is only 20 year old & sounds it. At 52 myself there is nothing to learn from her here. The author comes across as particularly angry. I was born red hair & white pale skin to a misogynist & racist man with a brute of a wife who both beat me for no reason but 'put some lipstick on'. I don't have time or energy to join this team, I have enough to get on with myself.

Mediocre/disappointing to hear stolen work
I was such a huge fan of this artist/author on instagram, & held her voice in such high esteem. Unfortunately I found the audiobook overall lacking in depth, lacking in fully fleshing out concepts, lacking in autobiography/anecdotal stories, & the most saddening part is apparently she has been alleged to have stolen/appropriated much of her concepts & content from WOC influencers/authors including TheSlumFlower Chidera Eggerue. I really gave this book a chance & listened to 80% before I gave up. I am returning to spend the $$ on WOC books said to have influenced this author.

I felt at times she was shouting at me for not being a good feminist. she brought points up but then had no practical way of implementing them unless it was extrem measures. she did make some great points in encouraging women to love themselves above all else and embrace who you are and don't settle for crumbs when someone out there will give you the whole cake. but overall I felt slightly attacked

This book was plagiarised by FG from Chidera Eggerue's work. I recommend going straight to the source and buying 'How To Get Over A Boy' and 'What A Time To Be Alone'.

I wanted to like it
I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't. It reeks of over the enthusiastic social justice high you get in your first year of uni. I think I expected something more from her, like how to deal with men calling me dahling in the workplace but all I got was anger and bitterness. It left a bad taste in mouth.

Wonderful, thank you Flo!!
I really enjoyed this audio book
Flo really dipped her toes into so many subjects that this really makes a great introduction into the world of feminism, self-awareness and growing into your whole human self.
She's also wonderfully aware of the privilege she holds and actively addresses it (I also much prefer her use of the word "marginalized" than the more common "minority" when referring to particular groups who face oppression) this made the book really comfortable for me (POC) to read.
This book does exactly what I was hoping, and I'm very happy to have read the audiobook! I would (and am!) reccomend this to others! :)

Not my thing!
I found 2 or 3 chapters useful and inspiring. However the rest was not for me at all. I didn’t enjoy the way the book was read, I felt almost like Florence was talking AT me, she also comes across as a “man hater” in my opinion. Over all not great if your not a massive feminist.

Eye opening
As white men, we sometimes get glimpses of how privileged we are. This book really opened my eyes to how the world treats those who are not as privileged. The depth of the entrenched gender roles is hard to ignore after reading this.
I understand Florence's path and thank her for sharing her story. I am, however, left with a question. How uncompromising should we be with our relationships? Should a relationship with your partner *never* be hard?
My wife and I read this and then we read Five Love Languages. Made for some real laughs at Gary's expense 😂

It's okay
I've been following her Instagram account for a while and thought it'd be better to get the audiobook, however the majority of this book feels like ranty instagram posts - most chapters are only between 5 - 7 minutes long.
In my opinion, the topics mentioned or 'discussed' are very one sided and I guess they're experiences the author must have been through multiple times and now she wants you to know not to do the same thing, such as don't wear a bodycon dress with high heels and be uncomfortable just to please a man (idk if it's just me, but I've always dressed for myself, not for anyone else) - however, it comes across more like hate at anything considered hetero.
It feels like it was written by someone who had a very sheltered upbringing and suddenly had an epiphany one day to not believe everything in advertisements or films.
I'd say it's worth listening to if you don't have love for yourself or know that you don't need a significant other to be happy, but don't just believe every word she says - what works for her may not work for you.
It's a very short book so you'll get through it quickly. But there's a lot of ranting and I think a mistake at one point in the recording where she had to reread a word?
Overall it's a bit meh and not what I expected unfortunately, it's just a regurgitation of her instagram posts in book format.

You should read the original
I hope this book helps someone but you should check out the original "What a time to be alone" by Chidera Eggerua. I wish I had read it before this copy. As Chidera's is a much more inclusive version of feminism.

LMFAO
I had to laugh. This is terrible writing with immature views and as a lot of other reviewers have pointed out, reeks of virtue signalling.
Sigh, instagram and snapchat have done more to fry the brains of millenials than any nuclear disaster could have.
Forget having a man in her life, I wonder how the writer’s ( if one can call her a writer) female friends tolerate her? She is angry for all the usual teenage issues which in her case have seeped into her twenties.
An absolutely useless read.

Waste of time. Read any of the work by Chidera (Slumflower)

Get more years under your belt
Get some more years under your belt
While it does have some great empowering things to say to young women.
It trips over itself I think time and again by trying not to hurt anyone’s feelings and be as PC as possible.
The writer I’m sure has some experience of life however I believe that being 20 years old and being an adult for less than 1/4 of her life shows through in this.
Nothing like evil capitalism to make you rich and give you perfect stage to preach

Immature.
Immature. A juvenile account of what it means to be feminist written by a 20 year old who seems to think she’s seen and heard it all. Laughable.

Couldn’t get through chapter one
This book feels very adolescent. It’s riddled with blame and destructive stereotypes. It’s white, ableist privilege centric. Talks about eating disorders like they’re a choice. Really truly terrible and helpful.

Your new book best friend
Florence Given has managed to capture what every girl (and man) needs to hear. A book full of home truths, inspiring words of wisdom and shared personal experiences. Whole heartedly recommend!

In your face and thought provoking
This had me questioning everything. I felt educated and empowered at the same time. I thought it was brave and vulnerable and I got so much from it, thank you!
