Bimbo: How to Ditch the Labels that Hold Women Back and Reclaim Your Confidence
'Ashley is a much-needed force.' Jameela Jamil
'Essential reading for every woman' Em Clarkson
'Raw and gloriously unapologetic … a rallying cry for every woman' Carol Vorderman
'A smart, brave and unapologetic reclaiming of female power' Katie Piper OBE
Bossy. Frigid. Spinster. Sl*t. Mumsy. Milf. Bimbo. The English language has a seemingly infinite number of judgemental and hypocritical words to describe women and their life choices. We can't win, no matter what we do.
Whether it’s on the sofa of ITV’s This Morning or online, Ashley James is a fierce advocate for women. In Bimbo, she unpacks the labels that box women in, and the systems that keep them there. From 'bossy' little girls, 'tarty' teens, to mothers who 'let themselves go', and 'left-on-the-shelf' single women, Ashley dissects the systems that try to confine us and what if we broke free?
Told through raw personal stories, humour and with a fierce feminist lens, this is a battle cry for every woman who’s ever felt too much — or not enough. This is a call to women to stop shrinking, stop competing, and start rising — together.
This is a book to be shared, discussed, and cherished, and a beacon of hope for a better future.

A really fantastic book!
I love Ashley James and her content. I have to admit that I don’t know much about her or where she came from, personally or professionally, so this book was a real eye opener for me.
I loved her honesty in all aspects. How she herself had judged other women, like we all have at times, and how wrong she had been. She has evidently done a lot of research and I loved hearing her opinions on how we view women, how men and the world view women and just how bloody hard it is to be a woman and a mother in this day and age.
Audiobook was fantastic and I’d recommend this book to every single woman I know 💗
