The brave, bold Ella Whelan is a leading voice of a rising generation of young warriors for free speech, which is lamentably threatened from both the left and the right in today's world. -- Camille Paglia

And now, in this brilliant book, she puts the case for female autonomy against feminist victimhood. Some feminists will no doubt cry ‘anti-feminist!’, but this would be inaccurate; in fact, this book is in the tradition of the Suffragettes, the female explorers, the female workforce and other female pioneers of the 20th and 21st centuries who demanded that society should mine rather than suppress women’s potential. All women and men who value women’s liberation should read this. -- Brendan O’Neill (from the Foreword).

Concise and refreshing

Ella Whelan is one of the stars of the challenging website Spikedonline. She has written a punchy critique of how much of the modern feminist movement has gone down a dark alley of bigotry and doublethink, which feminists of previous eras would have found horrifying. Much of this driven by a tiny minority of middle class activists, who ironically show indifference towards many women who suffer severely through the oppression of forced marriages, FGM, domestic abuse and grooming. They also seek to deprive working class women of job opportunities they consider inappropriate. Whelan references her points in the text, so one can go back to the original sources. I hope she does a larger update to the book in due course. There are many female viewpoints out there, so it is shame that only ones who generally get heard in the mainstream media are from a narrow class-based cohort.

Brilliant. Shows radical Feminists as to what they really are.
1. Victimhood.
2. Demonizing Men.
3. Intolerance.
4. Idealism.
5. Snobbery towards working class women.
6. Outrage culture.

Equality of opportunity not equality of outcome.

Absolutely buy this book… leave your first judgement at the door and enjoy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2021

I loved the honesty, the opinion, the thoughts it provoked and the discussions that ensued. It’s that good, I’ve males reading it too. Small but good to digest. As a female, a mother, breast feeder and overall women I feel that what I want is ignored currently or what those of us like me need or deserve. Equality isn’t found by eroding someone else’s rights to get yours, it’s about finding balance. If you learn to find balance and harmony anything is possible, but if you shove politics, identity or otherwise into someone’s face and make incomprehensible demands people will pushback.

This author will likely get negative reviews from many who didn’t read the book, read snippets or subjectively seen it as an attack rather than the actual information and direction it was aimed. If you are an (mainly) adult female 30+ it is fantastic and you will find yourself nodding in agreement to much of it, it will make you discover pieces of history and think further on this. It’s not a Harry Potter Book, it is not run of the mill self help book and it is definitely not a politically sided book!! It’s a book for women and especially those who want their years of fighting for freedom, acceptance, and their own role in society not to be removed by other women, or people who to be fair may have decided to decide for us all collectively. Then ignore us when we have a different voice.

Look have a read, leave your ready to be negative at the door and have an honest moment with yourself and balance this with a review.

Everyone can read stuff they don’t always agree fully with but you will always find something, somewhere within that you do, if you don’t then only you are deluding yourself.

Loved it! And my 16 year old daughter who doesn’t fit this generations “think like me or else” narrative can read it if she chooses.

Beauty of being HUMAN - our thoughts are ours, for now!

A great read - inspiring, insightful, accurate... a well needed strong voice representative of many females currently drowned out by the rabble and trending social narrative

This is poorly written, confused and nowhere near as clever as the author thinks it is. I struggled my way to three quarters of the way through them had to give up.

I think Ella is one of the great thinkers of modern life. She is fearless and doesn't subscribe to group think. She cares very much about women. She has a good heart and in particular is fond of the working class. Her prose are eloquent and well informed. I'd really like her to write a book about Brexit.
