Description

'Engaging, hilarious and practical - I will proudly proclaim myself a card-carrying member of the FFC' - Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and bestselling author of Lean In

This is a call to arms.


Are you aged zero to infinity? Finished with the sexist status quo? Ready to kick ass and take names?


Welcome to the Feminist Fight Club. You have lifetime membership.


Feminist Fight Club provides an arsenal of weapons for surviving in an unequal world. You will learn how to fight micro-aggressions, correct unconscious bias, deal with male colleagues who can't stop 'manterrupting' or 'bro-propriating' your ideas - and how to lean in without falling the f*ck over.


Every woman needs this book - and they needed it yesterday.


This is not a drill.
