A moving memoir that reminds you anything can be achieved with hard work.

[Michaela Sommerfield · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honest and brutal but also beautiful. Easily one of my favourite non fiction I've ever read.

Best book I’ve read in ages, absolutely loved it

[Susie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very unsure how to rate this book. It certainly made me question my own biases (thank you!) but I also found it quite difficult to get through in part. Clearly a memoir of a very interesting woman though!

Don’t rate memoirs but loved this! Feminist icon and a total must read. Felt like I had a mental childhood on the council estate but this makes it look like Buckingham palace. Thank you audible for recommending this! Definitely better listened to.

I thought this was a beautiful and deeply affecting book. It’s thought‑provoking and, at times, difficult to read, but I came away feeling I’d learned a great deal about women’s rights and the dynamics of victim blaming. The author shares her own experiences of abuse, misogyny, and class‑based discrimination with honesty and power. Her writing made me laugh and cry, and she has an incredible ability to tackle painful subjects. I loved this book for the way it left me feeling stronger and genuinely passionate about women’s rights.

This is pretty rough reading for a lot of it, but it has a positive message in the end.
