This is clear when a stranger’s catcall makes her feel targeted in the street. When politicians make off-the-cuff sexist remarks. When media commentators wade in with their condemnation of free, unrestricted abortion. When a father is praised to the skies for attending parents’ evening while the mother’s attendance is taken for granted. When they fire her because she’s pregnant. When they dismiss her medical symptoms as anxiety. To counter sexism today, we need to learn the art of self-defence.  Today, feminism is more alive and more necessary than ever because discrimination against women has become more subtle and difficult to detect, yet it retains its paralysing power. With combative energy and acerbic wit, Bel Olid explains the key concepts of the current feminist struggle in a smart, radical and often counterintuitive way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTo Be or Not to Be\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Machine Guns\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Not All Men\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Raped Bodies, Rapable Bodies\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Misfits\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Don’t Wash Your Dirty Linen in Public\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Love Doesn’t Kill\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Together We’ll Take Back the Night\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e #Onsónlesdones\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The School of Life\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We Don’t Want to Wear the Trousers\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Being Nothing to Be Everything\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Feminist mini-lexicon: 25 words for naming reality\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sources\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441814991128,"sku":"9781509564729","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509564729.jpg?v=1785026890","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-pocket-guide-to-feminism-a-survival-kit-hardback-9781509564729","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
