Review
"Our brand of feminism is different from what has gone before" said Ellie Levenson, author of The Noughtie Girl's Guide to Feminism, to be published in July. "However, feminism clearly has an image problem. What we need to get across is that you can be feminine and a feminist." -- Independent on Sunday
"Without oversimplifying, [Ellie Levenson] offers a survey and synthesis of what has already been achieved and what remains to be done - although she's not afraid to strike out into more controversial territory at times. A fine book, and regrettably still a necessary one." -- Leicester Mercury
"She is a good example of the younger breed of feminists, women who are not exactly on the front line but who still make a contribution to the debate." -- The Times
"A generation has somehow grown up without a clear idea of the breakthroughs the feminists made, so Levenson's book is timely." -- Spectator

Review
"Witty look at the F-word for those who support equal rights but are less keen on man-bashing and bra-burning."
Product Description
If you're in favour of women's rights but less enthusiastic about the man-bashing and bra-burning side of feminism, Ellie Levenson has the answer. From chick lit to condoms and bitchy bosses to toe-cleavage, Levenson reminds us that the modern feminist can strive for equality without having to sacrifice boyfriends or lipstick. Insightful, informative, fresh, and always funny, Levenson shows why the issue is still an important one, and presents a modern-day search for equality between men and women where we can be simultaneously the same, but different, and still get on fine. Ideal for women young and old, this guide rescues the movement from cliche and will inspire women of all age to proudly call themselves feminists.
