If you're in favour of women's rights but less enthusiastic about the man-bashing and bra-burning side of feminism, Ellie Levenson has the answer. From chick lit to condoms and bitchy bosses to toe-cleavage, Levenson reminds us that the modern feminist can strive for equality without having to sacrifice boyfriends or lipstick. Insightful, informative, fresh, and always funny, Levenson shows why the issue is still an important one, and presents a modern-day search for equality between men and women where we can be simultaneously the same, but different, and still get on fine. Ideal for women young and old, this guide rescues the movement from cliche and will inspire women of all age to proudly call themselves feminists.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This isn't your standard feminist rant - it's far from a truculent tract. Instead, we have a witty discussion about how society operates from a woman's perspective." --Birmingham Sunday Mercury
"She is a good example of the younger breed of feminists, women who are not exactly on the front line but who still make a contribution to the debate." --The Times
"A generation has somehow grown up without a clear idea of the breakthroughs the feminists made, so Levenson's book is timely." --Spectator

Review
"There's much to admire in Levenson's spirited, deceptively frothy arguments in favour of a feminism that accommodates the many choices and complexities involved in being a 21st-century woman without ever negating the fundamental need for equality." "The fluffy approach may send shudders through some of feminism's more leathery campaigners but Levenson's sassy attempt to reclaim the word and show how relevant it is to today's world is admirable."
