description: SHORTLISTED FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY BOOK AWARDSJess Phillips writes like she brilliantly. Her humour and passion shine through every page. Loved it. ROBERT WEBBIf youre thinking Jess who? then Im glad that there was something about Everywoman and truth that caught your eye.Or you might already know me as that gobby MP who has a tendency to shout about the stuff I care about. Because Im a woman with a cause I have been called a feminazi witch a murderer and threatened with rape. The internet attracts a classy crowd.So speaking the truth isnt always easy but I believe its worth it. And I want you to believe it too. The truth can be empowering the truth can lead to greater equality and the world would be incredibly boring if we let all of those people who allegedly know everything say everything.By demanding to be heard by dealing with our imposter syndrome by being cheerleaders doers not sayers creating our own networks and by daring to believe that we can make a difference we can.Were women and were kick-ass. And thats the truth.'Joyfully candid and very funny.' Guardian'Jess Phillips knows the truth . . . and here she shows how scary and sad as well as joyful and liberating the answers can be.' Damian Barr'Everywoman has all the laughs [of Lena Dunham and Caitlin Moran] with a backbone of real glinting anger . . .there were so many funny and wise things on each page that whittling them down into a review seemed impossible.' Julie Birchill Spectator'As fresh as mountain air amid the Westminster tumbleweed.' Metro'Arresting.' ObserverThis title now has a new cover and t here is a chance that you may receive the edition with the old cover instead of the cover displayed here.
