description: In 2012 after being sexually harassed on London public transport Laura Bates a young journalist started a project called Everyday Sexism to collect stories for a piece she was writing on the issue. Astounded by the response she received and the wide range of stories that came pouring in from all over the world she quickly realised that the situation was far worse than she'd initially thought. Enough was enough. From being leered at and wolf-whistled on the street to aggravation in the work place and serious sexual assault it was clear that sexism had been normalised. Bates decided it was time for change. This bold jaunty and ultimately intelligent book is the first to give a collective online voice to the protest against sexism. This game changing book is a juggernaut of stories often shocking sometimes amusing and always poignant - it is a must read for every inquisitive no-nonsense modern woman.
