Description
Katie Edwards grew up desperate to be the perfect girl - quiet, compliant and conventional. But a lifetime of fighting to be heard has taught her that women's voices are silenced by class, respectability and fear. If we don't speak for ourselves, she has learned, no one else will.
Both a memoir and a powerful call to arms, Speaking Up is a timely expose of misogyny and patriarchy, and a passionate plea for every woman to break the silence. It's the story of how our voices get lost - and how we can take them back.
