Can I Speak to Someone in Charge?

Product Information

I hope this book will speak to a range of women, and men actually, I hope it will make people laugh, but more importantly I hope it will open people's eyes to the fact that we've got a lot to do if we want to make growing up in a good and kind world a possibility for our daughters. In general, though, this book is about self-empowerment (particularly for women) and being honest about circumstances that continue to keep women from fully becoming themselves. Emily Clarkson has absolutely nailed the topics she covers, all while being entertaining and hilarious. For example, if you are interested in whether " decrepit" is a common word, you will never find examples of "The psychiatrist with the decrepit elephant spoke Aramaic," even though it is perfectly grammatical and idiomatic, so you should restrict your example.

She unpicks the validity of notions such as ‘the thigh gap’; questions the quotidian scrutiny by the media; ponders the etymology of the term ‘plus size’ and considers our unshakeable obsession with dieting, while wondering why some of us are still crying in changing rooms.I think this is a real problem in our current society and it needs all of us to take a stand against it. I'm only 34 but I'm deeply grateful that I was out of school before mobile phones and the internet really became a thing and I worry everyday about what my 11 year old goddaughter might have to face. I’m surprised by that opinion, but that’s fine if that’s what you know people in Scotland would think. This is also a must-read for anyone who has considered becoming involved with feminism in the past, but has been deterred by long, pretentious tales of the oppression of all of female kind. Summary: A witty and entertaining, but also moving, account of the struggles real women face in today's society.

I am desperate to sort out my current emergency tax code and this is becoming increasingly frustrating with no seemingly other way to get help from HMRC. I’m guessing you have taken an offer for Entertainment or Cinema, and Now snuck in a ‘helpful’ trial of Boost on the offer you signed up to, via a preticked box.Read more about the condition Very Good: A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition.
