Story
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.

Story
From a young age, her life was defined by uncertainty—by trauma and strength, sadness and hope, terrible lows and wondrous highs. As a teenager she found the courage to speak up after experiencing awful and ongoing child sexual abuse. This fight to find her voice would not be her last. The Ninth Life of a Diamond Miner is Grace's story, in Grace's words, on Grace's terms. Like Grace, it is sharply intelligent, deeply felt and often blisteringly funny. And, as with all her work, it offers a constructive and optimistic vision for a better future for all of us.

Clementine Ford is a person who has loved deeply, strangely and with curiosity. She is fascinated by love and how it makes its home in our hearts and believes that the way we continue to surrender ourselves to love is an act of great faith and bravery. This tender and lyrical memoir explores love in its many forms, through Clementine's own experiences. With clear eyes and an open heart, she writes about losing her adored mother far too young, about the pain and confusion of first love - both platonic and romantic - and the joy and heartache of adult love.

The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

When former government staffer Alisha Aitken-Radburn was given a 'villain edit' on her first season of The Bachelor, she wasn't entirely surprised – there are only a handful of character tropes producers can manipulate into storylines. But the backlash on social media was unexpectedly intense, and Alisha found her sense of identity completely rocked by a single comment: 'You are a bad person'. Determined to shake the 'villain' label, she returned to reality TV screens, and this time, she got a different edit.

Story
When Chloe Dalton was eight years old, she would practise her goal kicks in the half-time break of her brothers' rugby matches, all the while telling impressed onlookers: 'Girls don't play rugby.' Sixteen years later, Chloe Dalton won Olympic gold playing rugby sevens for Australia and is now a fixture in the AFLW. In 2020, she started her own news platform, The [Female] Athlete Project, because while she was surrounded by women achieving incredible things in sport, nobody was hearing about them.

Fabulous Book!
They should make this part of the school curriculum. Not even joking. 5 stars isn’t enough to express how great this book is, I have ADHD & struggle A-LOT to keep focus but I listened to this in one day. Hannah was able to write/talk about some extremely hard topics in such an engaging & succinct way. If you’re wanting to introduce the concept of feminism (among other topics) to anyone in your life, this is the book to buy them!

A much needed pulse check
Such a well written although very sobering book by Hannah. This book was a great reminder of how so many of our country’s political, judicial, legislative and social systems are designed to benefit some and actively work against others. Hannah’s book tells us just how deep rooted the problem is. To be honest by chapter 5 it was hard not to feel slightly overwhelmed and demoralised. However, she also reminds us that it’s not okay to just ignore and be quiet about these issues just because they feel bigger than us. That it the responsibility of all of us to question and reflect what we experience and consume as well as ourselves within these systems and to have conversations, hard ones. I wish it would become a text all young people have to read.

A must read
Honestly wish this book existed when I was in high school. I might’ve saved myself a tonne of trauma just by being aware of the ways a patriarchal structure touches all aspects of society. But I’m so incredibly glad it exists now and younger generations can hear some of the profound messages Hannah delivers in this masterpiece. Now it’s time to get my whole family reading this one

Presented so clearly in a no nonsense manner Hannah makes it an easy listen and so relatable.
Even if you are new to the conversation and don’t have knowledge or background on the issues discussed it is insightful and clear to understand including a range of important conversations and facts everyone should be aware of.

Fantastic writing, a must read
Hannah presents a brilliantly written, insightful commentary of the Australian political climate and social issues in society at large in a refreshingly candid, reflective and honest format. Her writing is whip smart, relatable and hilarious without taking away from the gravity of the content being discussed. 5 stars just isn’t enough!

thought provoking and inspiring
I'm so grateful to Hannah for this work.
It was deep and intense, often scary but mostly self-reflective. Her words shine a light on the parts of feminism and millennial life that feels gross, and provides the language to explain why.
BRB, gotta go tell my friends to catch up
