Fix the System, Not the Women

It's Not You, It's the Patriarchy is a timely investigation into the patriarchy and how it affects our day-to-day lives. Acclaimed campaigner, author and founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, Laura Bates, connects the dots between so-called 'isolated incidents' of violence against women, depressingly commonplace instances of everyday misogyny that most girls and women will experience such as the date which turns aggressive, and the seemingly benign opinions about women that girls grow up learning such 'girls don't do science', don't get angry or you'll be seen as 'hysterical', etc.. All have a direct impact on how girls and women behave, choose to live their lives and the choices they make. Importantly, Laura sets out solutions and calls-to-action so inspire motivate and empower the reader.
